Collaboration offers hunters faster setup time and increased accuracy
OLATHE, Kan./August 15, 2023 –
Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced an integration of its Xero X1i
crossbow scope with Ravin Crossbow’s precision-based platforms. The
new custom Xero X1i scope is preloaded with the technical
specifications of all Ravin Crossbow models and adjusts aiming
solutions based on each model’s specifications, providing hunters
with unparalleled “out of the box” accuracy and blistering fast
setup times.
“Ravin Crossbows paired with the Xero X1i
provide a new level of precision aiming that will meet the demands
of even the most advanced crossbow hunters. Simply put, the
combination of Ravin’s industry-leading accuracy with the superior
ranging and aiming capabilities of the Xero X1i creates one of the
most comprehensive crossbow shooting experiences available.” – Bryan
Yalowitz, Garmin outdoor product strategy director.
Innovative Accuracy
Garmin Xero X1i is an electro-optic based
crossbow scope with a built-in laser range finder that offers one of
the most advanced crossbow aiming platforms on the market, thanks to
a proprietary algorithm that compensates for distance and angle.
With 3.5x magnification and digital overlays to improve sighting
precision, the Xero X1i can range game targets up to 250 yards away
and reflective targets up to 500 yards away. Integrating the
technical information for each individual Ravin Crossbow assists the
Xero X1i in calibrating an aiming solution, so users can be
confident they have the most accurate pin placement for the specific
hunting situation.
Streamliined Setup
Sighting in the
Xero X1i scope with Ravin specifications is easy and fast. After
mounting the scope, customers will select their Ravin Crossbow model
on the Xero X1i scope’s digital screen. The user then sights in at
20 yards, and the Xero X1i’s advanced processor automatically
adjusts its ballistic algorithm for the Ravin model chosen based on
the particular crossbow’s technical specifications. The scope then
provides digital pins out to 150 yards, allowing for setup times as
short as 15 minutes.
Ravin enthusiasts will also appreciate a
custom Ravin internal look and feel thanks to the scope’s
Ravin-branded splash screen, new ranging screen, and a customized
aiming reticle.
