Review on Kestrel Weather Applied Ballistics Bluetooth Test, Measure & Inspect by Julio Montano

This thing is amazing! I do a lot of long range shooting and using ballistics apps and internet programs works well, but the kestrel / applied ballistics calculator works better. It even accounts for the difference in aerodynamic jump in crosswinds. The best part is that you don't have to enter the entire environment manually, it takes everything you need into account without much effort on the part of the shooter. There are many other variables that come into play when comparing to other ballistic solvers. This results in a downrange hit. My vertical spread has decreased drastically. I had a hard time deciding if I should use the Bluetooth version. I chose the non-Bluetooth version (Kestrel calls it LinK). I don't regret it at all. If you prefer to enter bullet/weapon profiles via smartphone, get the link. However, this can also be done quite quickly without the phone app. Additionally, Bluetooth makes it easy to update firmware and download custom resistance curves from Brian Litz. I didn't care because I still aim my bullets and his number doesn't matter. I've also found that batch variations in bullets lead to batch variations in BC. Bluetooth would come in handy if you plan on lying on your stomach for a while with a weathervane mount attached to your Kestrel. If you're constantly moving around in PRS matches, holding a kestrel in one hand and an iPhone in the other is silly. You can get everything you need right on the Kestrel display.
