Today, Garmin releases the Xero C1 Pro, a pocket-sized chronograph that aims to redefine the world of projectile velocity measurement.

The Garmin Xero C1 Pro accurately captures velocity data for various projectiles, including bullets, arrows, crossbow bolts, shotgun slugs, paintballs, and airsoft devices. During a shooting session, the device displays the projectile's speed and shot count, as well as the average speed, standard deviation, and extreme spread after each shot.

Once the session concludes, the Xero C1 Pro provides a comprehensive on-screen Session Summary, featuring the minimum, maximum, and average speeds of the shots, along with extreme spread and standard deviation. Users even have the option to customize the display to show Power Factor and Kinetic Energy when entering projectile grain weight.

Compact and User-Friendly Design

Measuring smaller than a deck of cards at 3" x 2.8" x 1.4" and weighing just over 100 grams, the Xero C1 Pro easily fits into the pocket of a range bag. It's built for use in various conditions, with its button-operated design, IPX71 water-resistant rating, and a sunlight-readable, high-contrast display. Thanks to a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, users can obtain data for up to 2,000 shots on a single charge.

The New ShotView App Offers a LOT of Data

After a shooting session concludes, the device automatically syncs with the new ShotView app. This user-friendly app organizes shot data in clear data fields for quick interpretation. Users can access information such as speed, deviation, extreme spread, kinetic energy, and more. Furthermore, the app allows users to mark shots as clean/cold bore and exclude outliers from session calculations. Additionally, users can create custom names for each session and add detailed notes for specific shots or the entire session.
