IQ MICRO BOWSIGHT w/ John Dudley


Garmin Xero Bow Sight

It has been a little over a year since Garmin introduced 2 auto ranging digital laser archery sights, which are the Xero A1 and A1i. The two main differences in the sights is that the A1i contains a few more bells and whistles than the A1, similar to a base package on a vehicle compared to fully loaded.

Both models provide an all-in-one design. Garmin broke down the barriers when they created the first of it’s kind, a bow-mounted digital laser rangefinder equipped with a targeting display system. These sights automatically measure distance to your target while providing an LED pin for the shot, these sights take the guesswork out of judging the distance. The beauty of the built-in rangefinder is that it instantly compensates for the precise angle distance to targets up to 100 yards and can go as far as 300 yards on reflective targets, whether you are at rest or full draw. The laser rangefinder will display the distance of your target with a pin calibrated to you and your bow.

The LED pins on the A1 and A1i automatically illuminate to conditions which allows you to see your target clearly, eliminating the impediment caused with physical pins. You can customize both the Garmin Xero A1 and A1i for single-pin and multi-pin configurations. You can choose either red or green colored pins on the A1i during the setup process.

There is a quiet single-button trigger that requires very little movement, whether you are at rest or full draw. By mounting the button in a convenient spot for your grip, you can quickly, silently and easily activate the laser rangefinder and provide the yardage as well as the right pin for the shot.

Both models are waterproof, rugged and lightweight as they only weigh 14.7 oz and can be fully submerged in water for up to 30 minutes without causing damage. The last thing you want on your mind is when you are in the field and it starts to pour down rain, is this expensive investment being ruined from water damage, so Garmin Xero is covered there too. These archery sights require 2 lithium AAA Batteries which will last up to one year before having to be replaced, batteries are not included.

One phenomenal component on the A1i is the The Laser Locate feature, this enables the use of a compatible Garmin GPS1 device to provide precise location of where your target was at when you took the shot. The data collected is then sent to your Garmin compatible device which directs you to where you connected with the target. The days of second guessing where the animal was at are over, but again, the Garmin devices have to be compatible.

For those archery enthusiast who like to fling different arrows in the field than they do at the range, this no big deal. With the Garmin Xero A1i, you can program different arrow profiles for target shooting and hunting, the sight automatically calibrates itself for each profile created, again, eliminating any guesswork for maximum accuracy. The profile information is stored in your A1i so you can easily go from a target configuration to bow hunting, eliminating the hassle of adjusting the sight every time you go out into the field.

The Garmin A1i Shot Dynamic feature provides information that can help hone overall shot performance. Data is collected for review to determine what may be causing some off shots, this then allows you to correct whatever you might be doing in order to make you more precise at connecting with your target.

So, my whole take on the Garmin Xero A1i and A1? Technology has evolved society at a rapid pace over the years, virtually everyone has a hand held computer strapped to their hip that they can control almost everything from, cars on the verge of driving themselves and the internet piped right into your living room television. Some might call a sight such as this as cheating and some state laws view it that way too, but the fact is that technology is going to keep progressing whether we like it or not, Garmin just simply tapped into the market before anyone else.

G5 Compound Bow Sight

G5 Outdoors was established in 2001 by Louis Grace and his two sons to market a premium broadhead. It is located in Memphis, Michigan. Over the last sixteen years it has seen explosive growth, expanding well beyond broadheads to a line of compound bow sights, rests, cams as well as other things both in and out of the archery market.
A reputation and drive for innovation and quality has been the hallmark of the company, as well as its predecessor, from day one, truly allowing the company to build a loyal following that recognizes the service the company offers. In 2006 the company released its first line of G5 bow sights, the Optix Series.
While many variants have been produced and are still available through secondhand sources on the market, G5 currently only produces one sight, the Optix XR2 as well as two lines of peep sights, the META and META Pro series. The Optix uses a patented Smart Pin 2.0 technology that utilizes a hybrid floating pin and a fixed Smart pin which allows for adjustments without deviating from the centerline of the sight. A harmonic dampener comes as a standard feature on this G5 bow sight. An arrow bumper and integrated sight bubble are also standard, allowing for consistent shots.
All components of this archery sight are corrosion resistant. Micro adjustments are available on a 3X scale. The sight also allows for third axis tuning and also has a built in visor. There is an LED rheostat light available for the sight, but it is optional. It is an ambidextrous sight. Finish options are limited to three: Realtree AP, Realtree Xtra, and Lost Camo. Overall weight of the standard sight is six ounces.
In the past, G5 has offered a few variants of the XR2. The Optix SE was a three-pin design using the Smart Pin technology. The Optix LE offered five smart pins of differing thicknesses. The original XR was a three-pin sight with an additional floating pin. And finally, the G5 Optix 3 pin was a three-pin sight that did not have any additional floating pins. As previously stated, these G5 archery sights are no longer in production, but are available within aftermarket selling areas. As such, information on these sights is limited to what has been listed. Regardless of this, all of the sights produced by G5 have proven to be reliable, efficient, and economical.
The Meta peeps are machined from solid, 7000 series aluminum and are available in three sizes. The 3/16” and ¼’ sizes are available in blue, red, pink, or green. The 5/16” is available in blue.
The Meta Pro offers a few advantages over the Meta. Firstly, the interior diameter as well as the string groove are both convex. With the interior diameter this allows the shooter to have a maximized field of view even in low light. Even as the peep begins to tilt the viewing window remains circular, eliminating the problems of looking through an oval that so many other peep sights do not address.
With the convex string groove, wear on the string is reduced noticeably. So much so that G5 offers a “no cut guarantee” as long as the peep is installed by a G5 archery sight retailer. It is available in the same sizes as the Meta, but color options change to: black, blue, pink, purple, green, and red.

EZV Compound Bow Sight

EZV Bowhunting Sight Tutorial and Full Review!

 An EZV bow sight has been the answer to many archer’s struggles with consistency. Venator Gear is located in Belgrade, Montana. Established with the sole intent of changing the world of compound bow sights, the company’s innovative design is like no other in the archery world. The company is still small and focuses entirely on its flagship product backed by an impressive guarantee and return policy as well as exceptional customer service.
The EZV Sight is a V-shaped bow sight that both ranges distance and aligns aiming point with precision shot placement all at once. It is an ambidextrous sight and its mounting bracket comes in two colors: black and camouflage.
The EZV bow sight is a sightless pin, eliminating the risk of pins breaking at a critical moment in the archer’s hunt. The design of the sight insert eliminates the need for range finders while also doing away with human error as it pertains to ranging distance.
The EZV sight is ideal for many types of game including deer, elk, moose, antelope, caribou, bear and turkeys. Five easily interchangeable V inserts are also included with the sight mount. These are tough, weatherproof polycarbonate that are adjusted in five feet per second intervals to match each shooter’s bow trajectory for a mathematically custom fit. Inserts snap in to place and are one thousand times stronger than fiber optic pins. The inserts are also available in neon chartreuse for low light visibility.
The EZV bow sight also has a bubble level for precision shooting. All of this comes in at an extremely lightweight 6.9 ounces. The key to this design is the V insert. As its name implies, this archery sight has an open V shape as the sight guide instead of pins. These inserts also have various tick marks on them, allowing the shooter to use them as traditional compound bow sights, although it seems as though that would not be necessary.
Aligning the vital area of the target inside of the V should be just fine. This makes the entire shooting process not only easier, but more accurate and dependable. Fourteen different inserts are available, designed for bows with speeds ranging from 245 feet per second to 320 feet per second.
The company offers a chart as well as instructional video on this topic as well as on how to adequately sight in the insert. If all this fails and an accidental purchase is made with the wrong size inserts, the company offers a free thirty day exchange on inserts.
A sight for crossbows is also in development, but has not yet made it to market. It promises to offer the same benefits as the original EZV archery sight, with a few obvious differences. First, it comes with a universal pica-tinny rail mount. Second, it will include ten inserts instead of five to make up for the fact that crossbows often have much greater feet per second ranges. The unobstructed open sight picture alleviates target panic, and the lack of a scope lens does away with fogging and icing over.
Venator Gear goes out of its way to help ease the fears of crossbow shooters that are used to using magnification by explaining the effective ethical ranges of most crossbows and the lack of an actual need or ability to shoot beyond sixty yards. The crossbow sight will also come with a lifetime warranty. Both sights are made and packaged in the USA.

Customer service is also excellent, which makes them an ideal company to deal with. Dead Ringer products have become widely available at most sporting goods stores such as Cabela’s and the list of licensed dealers is growing regularly.

The Dead Ringer Bone Collector-The Starvation Bead bow sight is the introductory level sight offering from this company. At $39.99, it won’t break the bank, but the shooter won’t be left high and dry from having to compromise performance.

The sight frame is solid aluminum. It features five .029 pins as well as a sixth one that is .019 and glows in complete darkness. Pin colors alternate between red and green offering a great level of contrast. The aperture also glows, making for a perfect situation to adjust sighting in low light. A sight light and level are also included. This is a right-handed sight only.

The Dead Ringer-The Tack Driver comes in two different styles: the Dead Ringer Tack Driver and The Dead Ringer- The Tack Driver DT bow sight. The primary difference is that the Dead Ringer- The Tack Driver DT bow sight offers an adjustable dovetail mounting bracket while the Tack Driver does not. The DT also uses five .019 pins while the Tack Driver uses five .029. At $49.99 and $59.99 respectively, both of these options offer quality whilst also remaining economical for nearly all shooters.

Color patterns for the pins are green, red, orange, red, green, offering a stark contrast between pins. Both frames are solid aluminum. Both are micro adjustable and feature tool-less windage and elevation adjustments. The top pin and aperture glow in complete darkness, making for an ideal shooting situation in low light conditions. Both also include a rheostat sight light as well as level. These sights are not ambidextrous but can be used on a left-handed bow with patience.

The Dead Ringer-The Wheel bow sight is Dead Ringer’s premium offering. It is priced at $79.99, making it the least economical of the Dead Ringer bow sights. This is still affordable to most shooters, considering market prices of other brands.

The features offered by the Wheel also make it worth the premium. The frame is solid aluminum. It features four .019 pins, with the top pin being illuminated. Color pattern for the pins is green, red, green, red. Like the rest of Dead Ringer bow sights, it also has a glowing aperture for low light situations.

Windage adjustments are tool-less as well. A sight light as well as calibrated sight tapes are also included. The bottom pin is adjustable, ranging from 40 to 100 yards with the turn of a dial. These additional features set The Dead Ringer -The Wheel bow sight apart and this sight is also right-handed only.

Also, an important fact to note is that Dead Ringer offers peep sights in one quarter, one eighth, and three sixteenths on an inch, all priced around $9.99. Dead Ringer also offers an eye-catching Bone A Fide Archery Tuning kit to help bring your bow up to par while you’re at it. It includes string wax, serving string, a Bone Collector peep sight, a D-Loop and nock.

Dead Ringer’s bow sights offer something for every price range while maintaining a level of quality that is commanded by those both in the field and on the range.

All of these sights also come in at under one hundred dollars as well, making them even more appealing for novice shooters who aren’t sure of what they prefer all the way up to avid hunters looking to try something new.
