Connected Hunting Optics

From glass to map, automatically. Quickly and accurately mark exact locations by syncing compatible hunt optics with the Hunt App.

You hunt, and we’ll cover the details.

From Your Glass to Your Map

When you’re in the field, precision and speed matter. onX Hunt’s Connected Hunting Optics automatically drops a Waypoint in the Hunt App when you range something with compatible rangefinders and binoculars, whether that’s a promising glassing point or where a buck or bull was standing when you took the shot.

Confirm Your Target Animal Is on Public Land

Make things easier on yourself when hunting near public/private boundaries. Range an animal at distance, then check your newly created Waypoint in the Hunt App to confirm you can make a move.

Simplify Stalking

When you mark the last known location of an animal before you start your stalk, you simplify the game, enabling you to move with purpose and without the confusion that a complex landscape can throw at you. Connected Optics lets you quickly drop a Waypoint so you can reference it as you close the distance.

Track Your Shot

After the shot, record the location of impact to guide your recovery. What we see across a draw or through the trees never looks the same when we’re on the ground, and every successful recovery relies on starting at the right place, not searchi

I am super excited about onX Hunt’s Connected Optics capability. I can think of numerous times on past hunts where I wished I could quickly and accurately mark the exact location I was looking at. Now, all I have to do is pull out my SIG Rangefinder, mark that location, and save it right to the Hunt App.

What is a rangefinder?

A rangefinder is a handheld device that measures the distance between you and an object. A primary use case for a hunting rangefinder is to measure the distance between you and your target so you can adjust your bow’s sight pins or dial your rifle scope to align with a given shot distance.

How to use a rangefinder:

Rangefinders come in various designs, but generally, you place your rangefinder’s crosshairs on your target and press a button. The rangefinder then gives you the exact distance between you and the target, typically in yards. 

With onX Hunt’s Rangefinder Integration, you use the relevant rangefinders’ app to initiate creating a new Waypoint:

  • For Leupold, open their app, tap “Pin Next,” range your target, tap “Send Pin,” and view your new Waypoint in the Hunt App.
  • For SIG, open their app, tap “Rangefinders,” range your target, tap “Send to onX Hunt,” and view your new Waypoint in the Hunt App.
How do rangefinders work?

Most rangefinders measure distances using a laser that reflects off the object you’re targeting. Handheld rangefinders generally calculate distances by measuring how long it takes the laser beam to hit the target and bounce back to the device. The onX Hunt Rangefinder Integration leverages Bluetooth rangefinder functionality to sync with your handheld rangefinder and automatically load new Waypoints into the Hunt App.
