Garmin Xero X1i Crossbow Scope, Auto-ranging Crossbow Scope, 3.5X Magnification and Precise Illuminated Aim Points, 010-02212-00

It feels like something out of Star Wars when you are using it. We got everything dialed in with help from the instructions and YouTube. Confirmed zero at 10, 20, 40, and 50 yards and then took it out to 80 yards. Every shot was bang on. Just had to learn to hold for the wind, but it was fun.

i found it to be unbelievable accurate but this might be help a few in setting it up.Make sure you put in the wright fps my barnett ghost 410 i thought was 410 fps well i was dead on at 20 yrds then went to 50 yrds and it was 8 inches low.so i did it over but this time i put in 390 fps and it is dead on out to 80 yrds.I cant believe it.You know what they say you get what you pay for and this one is worth every penny

I took my time calibrating and it is within 1" of the bullseye at 80 yds on my Ravin R9. 😊It was easy to set up and make minor adjustments to the calibration.If you are smart enough to follow step by step instructions you should have no problems. If you can't do the setup easily then you probably shouldn't be using this level of technology anyway.🤔I had no issues with the battery being drained after setup that some people complained about.Only 4 stars because it is pricey 😕

I’m struggling with this review because there are so many things I love about this scope for crossbow hunting. However it’s shortcomings are major ones that I would have expected Garmin to address before launching at such a steep price.First, the documentation is horrible. The battery died during the sighting in process and I never got to the last step of the setup when the scope pronounced setup complete. Nowhere did it say anything about doing a reset and starting over with sighting in on another crossbow. It also says nothing about how to put the scope in standby mode. The setup is pretty easy if it works right but the instructions are more of a quick start guide. Certainly not a manual by any stretch of the imagination.And lastly, since the manual didn’t say how to put the scope to sleep, I burned up two sets of batteries a day, during 3 days of shooting. Not anywhere close to the 12 months advertised.Bottom line is it appears Garmin doesn’t expect anyone to put this on more than one crossbow judging by its lack of workable documentation. Even the videos we’re just quicker info from the quick start guide. Too much critical data and instructions have been left out for my taste.The accuracy and fairly quick setup was great but the lack of a manual and poor battery life isn’t worth what they’re charging for the scope. I’m hoping Garmin fixes its shortcomings and then I might give it a second look.
