The Mathews LIFT 29.5 uses a Bridge-Lock sight mount. Whether the Picatinny-native Garmin Xero A1i Pro fits, what version to order, and the trap.

Does the Garmin Xero A1i Pro fit a Mathews LIFT 29.5?
Needs the right mount. The LIFT 29.5 uses the Mathews Bridge-Lock dovetail slot, and the Xero A1i Pro ships in a Hoyt Picatinny mount, so you need the Bridge-Lock dovetail version or a base change to fit the slot.

The Xero A1i Pro is Picatinny-native, so how it fits the LIFT 29.5 depends on the bow's Bridge-Lock mount.
The two ends
| Bow sight mount | Mathews Bridge-Lock through-riser dovetail slot |
|---|---|
| Sight | Garmin Xero A1i Pro, built for the Hoyt In-Line Picatinny rail |
| What to order | Garmin Xero A1i Pro in a Mathews Bridge-Lock dovetail version (confirm availability) |
| Trap | the Picatinny mount version will not enter the Bridge-Lock slot |
The Xero A1i Pro was designed with Hoyt for the In-Line Picatinny rail, so it clamps straight to a Picatinny mount. On the Mathews LIFT 29.5 the fit depends on whether the riser is Picatinny, a Bridge-Lock dovetail, a Center Mass bar or a bracket.
Garmin ships a standard-mount adapter in the box, so the sight also runs on conventional bushings; the Picatinny rail version is the one to pick for a Hoyt-family In-Line bow.
