Any of y’all seen one of these in person yet? I got to see one at Archery Unlimited yesterday. That joker is wicked and very pricey. I’ll probably never own one because I absolutely do not want a glass lens on a bowhunting sight. https://gearjunkie.com/garmin-xero-a1i-bow-sight-review-field-hunt-test

What time were you there, my son and I was there around 1:30 while someone was having a new Matthews Triax set up with one of those installed.

I got there about 3:45. I got my Triax to go without a Garmin. I set my own up.

That's a really cool bow sight but I'm with you, I don't want anything with a glass lens on a hunting rig.

I would think that has glare written all over it on a field at the wrong time of the day.

Buddy of mine bought one. Sent me a pic of the sight. Had no idea that it cost that much

No way I'd risk my hunts on something electronic

All the electronics involved in this sight just means something else to break or go wrong and for a $1000 at that.

I’m not concerned about the electronics. I’m more worried about having a lens on it.

Burris is making one of these also. And from what I've read it doesn't have a lens in it. Supposedly a better warranty also. I believe its called the oricle.

They're on eBay for $700-$800. You should be all over that...

Anyone know if these are legal for hunting in Alabama? I ask because the Burris has a laser that is used to align the range finder during the initial sight in.
