Xero S1 – Trapshooting Trainer <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OLATHE, Kan.\/July 9, 2019\/ <\/strong>\u2013 Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today introduced the XeroTM S1 Trapshooting Trainer, the first near real-time shotgun trainer that provides immediate feedback and detailed analytics for every shot taken. Using Garmin Xero radar technology and computer vision, the Xero S1 gives shooting enthusiasts never-before-seen insight into shot dynamics, shooting accuracy and performance. Users can pair their mobile device to Xero S1 through the free Xero app for a comprehensive view of shot analytics and historical shooting data providing even greater insight to help improve proficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShooting accuracy and performance have traditionally been determined by best-guesses, but not\nanymore,\u201d said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. \u201cThe Xero S1 provides a new\napproach for trap shooters, both novice and seasoned, to better understand their strengths, weaknesses\nand natural biases, as well as their shooting equipment. This understanding helps lead to faster-improved\nshooting accuracy. Additionally, the S1\u2019s upland training feature gives users the ability to practice upland\nsituations in a controlled environment with friends.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Xero S1 is made for American Trap (singles\/handicap) or upland training. Prior to starting a round of\nclay targets, the rugged, portable Xero S1 device is placed in proximity to a user. Within seconds of each\nshot, the Xero S1\u2019s five-inch high resolution display provides feedback generated through S1\u2019s use of\nXero radar technology and computer vision. Information displayed on-screen includes distance from shot\npattern\u2019s center to the center of clay target for both hits and misses, clay distance at trigger pull, and\nreaction time. For hits, information on quality of clay-break is categorized through a unique S1 scoring\nmethod referred to as \u201cbreak factor.\u201d At the completion of a round, the Xero S1 displays a complete\nassessment of shots taken. Much more than just a scorekeeper, users can review hit or miss performance\nby station and clay launch angle, and see graphical placement of every shot in the round with its relative\nposition to the clay target.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Xero S1 allows users to set up profiles for various shooting parameters. Users can configure a wide\nrange of variables about their trapshooting setup, such as barrel length, choke, shot size, and shot\nmaterial. Users can then experiment with those various systems to optimize trapshooting performance. In\nthe past, this process required lengthy data collection or was based on intuition. Now, gun fit, choke, and\nammunition performance can be quantified.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When paired to the Xero app, shooting information from the device is automatically transferred to the\nuser\u2019s mobile device for an in-depth view of their performance. This information includes total rounds,\ntotal shots, hit percentage per round, hit percentage per station, shot speed, clay speed, reaction time,\naccuracy performance at left\/center\/right, average score, longest streak, best and worst stations, and\ngraphs of performance over time. The Xero app hosts historical shooting data, so users can reference\nperformance based on event, location, station, and more. For that truly exceptional round, users can also\nquickly and easily post their scores to their favorite social media platform through the app.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xero S1 operates in multiple trapshooting modes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
