Overview

A hunter mounting the Xero X1i gets a crossbow scope with a built-in laser rangefinder that measures distance with a single button press. Illuminated aim points adjust brightness to light, and custom bolt profiles hold aim point stacks for each setup.

Auto-ranging and aim points matched to your bolt profile remove manual range guessing. The limitation is setup, since the scope needs a Picatinny base, a wired trigger accessory and a Garmin device for the waypoint feature.

Who it's for

Crossbow hunters who want the scope to range game and display the right aim point will use the features. Hunters with traditional scopes or rail-free crossbows should look elsewhere.

Performance notes

A single button press fires the laser and the scope selects the aim point for that distance, using the bolt profile you set. Illuminated aim points brighten or dim automatically to stay visible. Steady Aim and Aim Point Level help the shooter hold the crossbow level.
