Is there a setting on the Garmin to turn off auto updates?

Even if it downloads the update, you can select cancel instead of update software.

The 3.30 update says it added downrange mode to pro settings. Have you explored that option, that maybe something is looking further downrange and increased chance it could miss a shot?

Maybe turn pro settings off.

I did the update while at the range and didn't have any missed shots. It shows 3.30 as the update. Is there anyone besides me that didn't have a problem?

I un-paired mine from my phone and so far no update has shown up.

Thanks for the heads up I was planning on going to range tomorrow. Will definitely not update

I couldn’t leave well enough alone. I updated mine, then went and shot some .405 Winchester. It missed 5 out of 10 shots. 30-30, It missed 4 out of 10. Must be a App update that will exploit the downrange mode toggle. Didn’t see anything different in current app with it on or off. Still missed shots either way.

My app shows 3.27 up to date

The quickest way to see new updates is using Garmin Express on a PC. I was updating my motorcycle Nuvi maps and auto GPS and saw the Xero update there.

the newest bug version is SW 3.30

Weird, mine is showing 3.27 and it updated this morning and I started having issues.

App on the phone shows 3.27.

Plug the chrono into the computer and it says 3.30 on the Garmin express app.

Just switched the down range mode on. I’ll see if it makes a difference tomorrow morning at the range, unless someone reports back today shooting with down range mode on.

Mine has missed the first shots ever. Then it takes 4 day to fully charge, It’s 3 months out of warranty so $80 and I get a refurbished one not bad for my $600 investment. Anyone else have this issue?

Did update this am and nothing but issues today on missed shots, wish I read this before hand

 

[Jeff Porter]

Well crap. Mine just updated today at the range.

I switched it on, then off, missed shots either way. With 3.27 I shot 175 22 K-Hornet and it never missed a shot.

Hopefully Garmin tech rep gets back to me. They’re usually pretty good whenever I have an issue.

I'm hoping they just fix the problem with another update......

Does anybody know what the downrange mode is supposed to do?

Mine updated while at the range on Wednesday and didn’t miss a beat.

Does anybody know what the downrange mode is supposed to do?

When that feature is enabled, the screen will be flashing when a shot is detected by the Xero when set up downrange. The screen flashing is an indicator that can be seen, since the screen can not be seen/read from a distance. This feature can be enabled or disabled for how you might want to use the Xero.
