Why Do You Need the Garmin XERO C1 Pro?
The Garmin Xero C1 Pro is packed with a lot of great features. But, how does it perform? In this review, the Hunt Fish Shoot team tests it on the range to find out.
Why is this important?
To put it into perspective how small it is, its smaller than a deck of playing cards.
The dimensions are 3.03 x 2.38 x 1.36 without the included mini tripod.
Some chronographs struggle with pellets and arrows, while others have a hard time in the extreme cold. During testing, the Garmin chronograph performed well in the snow with both a bow and a hunting rifle.
In addition, it could easily be attached to an Arca-Swiss plate for larger cameras or rifle tripods.
The limited buttons and easy-to-follow on-screen instructions make set-up a breeze.
This particular combination is especially good because you need accurate FPS data for the ballistic-solution technology within the scope.
The Garmin Xero C1 Pro has a modern-looking screen that is easy to read in all kinds of lighting conditions.
I selected rifle for the Redline and then selected 1700-5000 FPS.
Once this was done, set-up was complete.
It gave me a cold bore shot of 2634.9 FPS and an average of 2606.8 FPS.
The Garmin Xero C1 Pro controls are well marked and are accessible along the top of the unit.
How does it work with a bow?
The set-up is identical, minus the location of the unit vs. the arrow or rest on the bow.
