I recently got an A1i. I’ve only got about 100 shots thru it but so far I really like it. Having a clear sight picture is very nice. The process of ranging and having the pin pop up is about 3 seconds, but that’s the initial range—after that, the pin is there until you need to re-range another target.
The setup was surprisingly easy. I’m thinking this will be a game changer for western hunting where you are moving around a lot. If you hunt over a feeder or from a tree stand where you can easily know your ranges, it might be a bit much. I still need to get a lot more time behind before I can leave a better review, but from the few reviews I’ve read, the A1i seems to be the ticket over the A1. Good luck. |

I got the A1i this past summer. It took a little time to get used to but I love it. Easy set up, can set it to “pins” mode, and it’s a real game changer when stalk hunting. One bull elk and one pig have been taken; hopefully more to come soon.

Got the A1i for Christmas. Very impressed to this point. Set up was easier than expected. Did not have a shooter come in last weekend of season but have taken several pigs love not having to fumble with a range finder. went from a single pin which i had several animals spook and run out of set sight distance which meant letting off and adjusting the sight. NO more of that just a simple push of a button. the sight is quite longer than my single pin and have yet to find a case to fit it in.

I think once they see that this sight does not shoot a beam or light like a red dot or others and basically operates like a normal range finder, it will be legal to use almost everywhere. Just my opinion. I got mine for the spot and stalk Cape Buffalo hunt that i am going on in the next couple of years. |

I've owned the A1i for about 7 months. Killed 3 deer with it this past season. Absolutely love the sight.

Most of the western states that consume most of my hunting time, it’s illegal in.
