    Kestrel wind direction issues

    The target becomes North or 0 for wind calculation. so if you have a target at 260 deg and get a wind heading of 350 it means your wrist moved 10 deg to the left of the target. It will get more exact if you set the unit on a table so your wrist is out of play. Why you ask? The kestrel tells...

    Statement from Kestrel. Battery corrosion. Must Read.

    If you should run across this thread from years ago, this post does not apply to the 5700 series as we supply and recommend using only Lithium batteries.

    the new scope is a change to your rifle, you need to re-zero and then do Cal MV and stop adjusting the Kestrel for environment conditions, that is what it is supposed to do. The Temp table is for powder sensitivity, the Kestrel adjusts automatically for weather change.

    if you have done dsf already you need to upload the profile to the app, then you can enter the MV temp table and then download to the Kestrel and that will keep all your data.

    Temp / fps go in the MV Temp Table and if turned on the Kestrel looks to the table for MV Temp not the fps entered in the Gun Profile MV. This does not change DSF.
