Review on Kestrel Weather Applied Ballistics Bluetooth Test, Measure & Inspect by Ron Patel

I have used Kestrels for field work etc in the past but have never used them for shooting and you can expect the same level of performance that scientists have come to rely on from Kestrels. I've spent a lot of time deciding which device to choose, whether I should buy one without built-in ballistics info and just use it with my phone's ballistics software, or spend extra money to get an all-in-one -Solution. I'm happy to say that I'm glad I spent the extra money on this device for a number of reasons. First, one less thing to rely on and one less device to switch, adjust and worry about while recording. Plus, the Kestrel works in temperature and weather conditions that phones just can't. I have seen competitive shooters in cold weather, very hot weather, rainy weather etc. where their phones would drop while the Kestrel unit itself was still working properly. It's not that the phone interface is awkward at times, there's a large screen, GPS capability etc so it's nice to use the device with a phone at times, but just being able to use the Kestrel is nice. The second is additional features, you get more weapon profiles, the ability to save a larger set of targets and some additional features/options that lower units don't offer. It's pretty easy to set up and there are lots of great guides online on how to set things up and once you've got everything set up it's very easy to enter your target settings and have a recording solution.
