Xero Bow Sights and Legal Use Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some frequently asked questions regarding the legal use of the Xero® Bow Sight series.
Do the Garmin Xero Bow Sights project visible light on the target during use?
No, the Xero bow sights project only infrared (non-visible to the human eye) light onto the target as part of its laser range finding function.
Can the Garmin Xero Bow Sights ever be used to project visible light towards a target?
No.
Do the Garmin Xero Bow Sights use illuminated pins?
Yes. The Xero Bow Sight uses light emitting diodes to present the pin for the shot onto a piece of angled glass. The light from this diode is then reflected back towards the eye of the archer.
Do the Garmin Xero Bow Sights provide a magnified view of the target?
No.
Are the Garmin Xero Bow Sights similar to a scope?
No. Scopes provide magnification. The Xero bow sights do not. The glass used in the sight is for the reflection of pins to the eye only. There is no magnification provided.
Do the Xero Bow Sights enhance vision to the target in dim or night conditions?
No, the Xero bow sights cannot illuminate the target. Only the aiming pins are illuminated. The infrared light used by the Xero is only used to range the target. It does not illuminate the target.
Are the Garmin Xero Bow Sights a “Laser Sight” or “Red Dot Sight”?
Those terms are typically used for sights that emit a human eye visible beam of red light to the target. The Xero bows sight’s laser range finding functionality only emits invisible, infrared light. The pins, which are visible to the hunter, are only projected towards the hunter’s eye.
Are the Garmin Xero Bow Sights legal for a certain state?
The Xero bow sights are legal to use in the majority of the United States. It is the responsibility of the hunter to know the specific bow hunting regulations for their state and hunting region. Garmin does not publish the bow hunting regulations for each state as they vary and can change from year to year. Review your desired state's bow hunting regulations to confirm if the Xero bow sights are legal to use
