Hey guys thanks for the video on the sight. That being said I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything but just wanna help. I've been shooting competition target archery for 18 years now I am by no means an expert but I've had quite a bit of coaching and I like to think I'm pretty good shot. I can shoot a 300 round more times than not. I noticed quite a few things in your Shooting form that could really help if you worked on. Number one would be as you're drawing the bow back Your elbow on your release arm should Be up in the air as you are drawing back it helps you get into your anchor point faster and Uses more muscles in your back that are a lot stronger which makes it less prone to injury and just a smoother draw in general. Number 2 is your grip. Your knuckles should be almost at a 45ﾟ angle So your lifeline on your Palm is vertical and just a little bit on the left side of the grip so it's more of the pad below your thumb that is on the grip And also you should not be squeezing the bow. your fingers should just be Kind of dangling there. When you are squeezing the grip it induces torque to the bow which causes a lot of left and right misses. And lastly I noticed when you were shooting And released an arrow you're release hand never moved backwards backwards which means you are not pulling through the shot. As you are getting ready to execute a shot you should be slightly pushing with your Bow hand and pulling with your release hand When doing it properly you should have a feeling like your shoulder blades are trying to pinch together And when the error releases your release hand should move backwards a few inches. I hope you don't take any offense to the Critique I just like to help. And I guarantee if Yeah you work on some of those issues yet issues you won't have to ever worry about losing arrows shooting at 45 yards You'll be drilling the bullseye at 60
Hey guys, thanks for the video. I do have a question regarding the Garmin blow sites....If your sites are set up and locked in just how you want them and for whatever reason the batteries go dead in the middle of the season, do the sites keep you set-up for a certain amount of time or are you pretty much screwed and have to get down from the stand and go back to the target to start over with the calibration of all your pins? Kindest regards, Brett Gale
I own the A1i Pro. It is a booger to get use to the setup. I have had two so far that the range finder is not ranging correctly. Garmin replaced the first one. They have great customer service. The second ended up doing the same thing. Reticle is 100 percent aligned with the red dot in the green circle looking through the peep. Go back to 42/43 yards and it says it 36/37 yards. Changed batteries, cleaned the sight, three different colored targets. These cover an area of 3ft wide by 20 inches high. I love Garmin, but will never trust my 1300 sight.
So technically that sight is an electronic sight, I wonder if it's legal in states that don't allow electronic devices, such as rheostat lights on your bow.
@@hollowridgeoutdoors957 I know the A1is offer more features but Do the A1s offer the same benefits as the A1is as far as range finding, setting your pins for that yardage to take the shot and compensating for the ballistics of your arrow speed?
Man if I had the money I would try this I think this is a game changer
I would like to see you guys take some shots from a tree stand. I have the Garmin A1i pro and needing tips on how it works. Thx for the video.

Appreciate the tip for sure! Always looking to get better!
Great video guys. I'm looking into buying one of these sights

They do have a memory. When you change the batteries it should still setup.
Awesome looking setups guys just wondering who's going to get a shot at the big buck first!!
Heath is up to bat first! We are litterally lifelong best friends. We get just as excited if the other kills!
@@hollowridgeoutdoors957 Wishing you both the best of luck, I'll be keeping a look out for some awesome video's

Hey guys shoot more at those longer distance's, it will make those 40-50yds shots so much easier.
what rest do you guys have on there? I have a plain jane whisker biscuit and i am wanting to upgrade mine.
It’s the Gen 7 by Vaportrail archery
What size stabilizer do you run on the back with the heavier garmin?
We are running the Stasis Stabilizer
As far as weight we had to play with it moving the weights back and forth until it fit our liking.
You poor guys look beat after that!!!
Is this the Garmin xero A1 or the A1i?
These are the A1
