Calypso AB Mini Ultrasonic Wind Meter

I got one of these to check it out, and although it seems to work fine as a wind meter, the integration appears to be non-functional.

I have been able to get it to show in the Anemotracker app, which is connected to my Sig Kilo10ks, but I have yet to see any changes in the ballistic readout other than the manual wind setting.

I could likely be doing something wrong, but I'm typically pretty tech-savvy, and after an hour or so, I gave up.

If anyone has connected to a set of Sig Kilo10ks and gotten them to use the data from the Calypso to make adjustments to the ballistics, please share.

We are trying to finalize testing for the firmware update this week and get it pushed hopefully this week. We just want to make sure its right. Once done, it will fix this issue.

How to Pair and Use a Kestrel with AB Quantum

Yes, removing the battery works, but only for two or three uses of the App. Then the problem comes back, and the battery has to be removed again… When do you plan to fix this issue permanently? It’s a bit frustrating removing the battery from the Kestrel to get the App to work.
Nothing we can really do to fix it. Just report the bug to NK so they can track it.

New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

@DocUSMCRetired Can I send the profiles I've built in the quantum app to my Kestrel?
Yes.

I want to follow up on this. It seems that once a "target specific" wind set has been entered for a target, it will not update with the rest of the card when you deselect it and try to update the whole card. I'm not sure if this is how it's designed to work or if it is a bug.

I was at a match today and noticed that my wind wasn't making sense for a couple of targets. I must have fat fingered and edited a wind value before deselecting the individual target and updating what I thought was the whole card.

If this is a feature then I think some sort of visual indicator that the target is de-linked from the rest of the card would be handy. From how i read your post though, it sounds like this isn't how it should be working.


Messing with it further before hitting post. Pretty sure this isn't functioning as it should.

If I set up 4 targets, and deselect them before modifying wind values they will all update together.

if I select a single target and change the wind angle 180 then deselect to update card, the other 3 targets will update but the modfied one will not.

if i change a 2nd target to have a 180 wind value and then deselect and change wind speeds it will only adjust the wind speed on the target i just modified and no other.


Thanks!
1) The target card is designed to work like this. If you individualized an input on the target card, it should not delete that input when you input general data unless you delete/reset that.

2) Their is an indicator on the target card, scroll to the right. Icons will light up for each of them. We have a video coming out on this, this week.

3) It is working as intended. We do not want to overwrite custom target values.

4) You can always scroll to the right, tap on the ENV, TGT, or WEZ button if they are lit up, and remove custom values.

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

Putin would be capable of taking smaller Eastern European countries, especially had he successfully swept Ukraine.

My recommendations involve trillions of dollars worth of consequences, so I won’t post them openly. They are things that would end the conflict rapidly though, without US or NATO intervention. It would allow Trump to “wash his hands of this”, while ending the conflict in a brutal manner that nobody has considered.

Putin obviously doesn’t respect Trump, and kind of can’t, since he has pasted himself into a corner by invading in the first place. Putin must be blocking out the Battle of Khasham, where he tested Trump’s resolve without provocation in Feb 2018.

It’s very interesting that Trump doesn’t mention that, as I think he wants to leave room for deescalation. He knows he carries a bigger military stick than Putin ever will, by orders of magnitude.

I think Trump is already looking at the natural consequences of the future of Europe. They will eventually boil over into civil war between Muslims and real Europeans, once the Muslim population bomb explodes on the major cities and they all find themselves outnumbered in their own countries.

The US should start thinking about screening European immigrants based on voting for liberal/leftist policies before allowing them to run away from their problems, then vote for the same crap here.

I have been forecasting multiple civil wars in Europe though since I saw what happened in 2005 in France. There have been multiple dust-ups since then of a similar nature, that are always sparked by some idiot savage getting himself killed, then the hordes blame the police and riot and destroy everything.

Firearms French MAS 49/56 MSE Sniper with APX L806 scope REDUCED $2900

Snipers Hiders get first shot at this copy of a French MAS 49/56 MSE Sniper rifle, caliber 7.5 French, with original APX L806 scope, case, brush, wrench, 4 extra magazines, and magazine pouches. This is a copy of the French MSE:

The MSE (Modified St Etienne) version of the MAS 49-56 was developed specifically for international competition shooting by French military teams. The standard MAS 49-56 service rifle was much more of a combat weapon than a target rifle, and the MSE improved several of its shortcomings in that arena. Most significantly, it added a longer stock and a proper pistol grip to improve handling. The MSE also has a substantially improved trigger and iron sights with much finer adjustments that the standard rifle. These elements were combined as a kit of upgrade parts to be dropped onto a regular 49-56; the MSE was not made as a complete new rifle. Only some 900 were originally made.

This copy uses an excellent condition French Mas 49/56 action in the original 7.5 French caliber. I imported this stock from France and it may be original old stock. It comes with the removable cheek piece and butt spacers. The scope is an original French APX L806 with the original case, brush and wrench. The scope is in excellent shape with clear optics. Four extra magazines ae included, along with two double magazine pouches. $3500 shipped to your FFL, C&R OK.

Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

I don’t think it’s going to ever be worth collector money. For that reason I say thread it and get the dbm. These two things sound like they will get you using it more often and that is what’s important. Use it and enjoy it, life’s to short to be worried about it being worth money it probably never really will be worth. More value In enjoying it imo! Send it to lri and enjoy it, things awesome

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

If Putin had been able to steamroll through Ukraine, it would have presented the appearance of strategic capability to the Eastern European nations (who actually have been investing in their defense), because they still have pictures of their family members that were murdered by Russians from the last times (Winter War 1939, WWII, Hungary 1965, Czechoslovakia 1968).

The billions in US aid have mostly been older weapons stockpiles scheduled for destruction assigned a monetary value we already paid, remember? It’s actually a net-gain for us in weapons disposal, not that comrade Biden jumped on that opportunity anytime soon. There was still corruption through CIA and USAID, who have been used by NGOs for personal gain as a rule ever since JFK was assassinated. They will do that with any conflict as long as they are allowed to.

The Eastern Europeans, especially Poland, are stuck between a weak European core run by male feminists and stupid women in their parliaments....and adventurist Putin to the East. Not a good position to be in right now.

This is why Finland and Poland quickly invested so much in their national defense in the 1990s. Finland replaced their aging fleet of SAAB Drakens and MiG-21Fs with F-18C/D (not F/A-18, a side note but interesting to dive into), while Poland replaced their MiG-29s, Su-20s and Su-22Ms with F-16C/D Block 50/52s.

Meanwhile in Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy, and France, they drug their feet developing Typhoon and Rafale, which are at end-of-life relevancy for modern air combat. Now Finland and Poland are F-35 customers, looking to replace or augment their 4th Gen fleets of fighters. Because Germany never invested in a Tornado replacement, they had to order F-35s too. This was after they fired their Luftwaffe Chief many years ago when he recommended they invest in the F-35 program ASAP.

I would absolutely love to debate Col MacGregor. He’s an Army Armor officer who thinks tanks and artillery are central to modern combat power. That hasn’t been true since Korea at the latest. It shifted during WWII in favor of air power, and the US is without peer in that space.

He is painfully-uneducated about the overall US force structure, where our centers of strength are, and how we actually fight. This is especially-alarming because he was front-and-center in Desert Storm’s Battle of 73 Eastings. He was in the last war where the US military actually was let off the leash a little, so he should know, but he either doesn’t or misrepresents his statements about modern US military force structure.

You will notice though that he reverts to expressing US combat power in artillery and armor terms. These are really after-thoughts and dinosaurs left over from early 20th Century institutional inertia. While 73 Eastings was the most decisive armor victory in the history of armor warfare, F-111Fs and F-15Es could have attrited the same number of tanks in relatively short order.

The F-111F attrited more tanks than the A-10A did in Desert Storm, in 1/4 the sorties flown by A-10s. What we have nowadays are far more-capable than F-111Fs, 1980s-era F-16s, early F-15Es, and A-10s.

McGregor is not comfortable speaking on air power because it isn’t his career field, so he defaults to silly discussions about how many artillery shells we can produce and at what rates. It’s embarrassing.
i was referring to his thoughts on pulling out of Ukraine 100%,everything and every body. tends to say same about Europe in general,maybe elsewhere. i find his idea to put them on our borders in full combat prep to be,actually,essential. what follows from that is a side discussion. this includes the the navy and CG on both coasts. his casualty #s from Ukraine are 1 way,others the opposite. who knows? we never will know. he does go overboard with the genocide rant re Gaza. he seems to be aware of some of the NWO and econ problems we have. all beside the point of using our mil to protect America and not involve ourselves in these MIC generated wars of choice. not looking good re Iran.
you still will NOT commit to what we should do re Ukraine and why. here you go-we should give not 1 shit if Putin goes to the channel. doesn't look like he could or wants to. there is nothing in Europe that we can't easily do without. except maybe a bunch of corp profits that help the elites make hay on the stock market. you seem aware that any benefit in European relations has all gone their way. we spent many lives and much treasure protecting and saving them from shit they started everywhere. Jefferson warned about it right at the start.
not happening but if he conquered Europe,how long would such an empire last? hx of empire's success in 19,20th centuries has not been particularly successful or long lasting. hasn't been much of a successful model anywhen. some exceptions but doesn't seem to be worth the cost in lives and wealth when we have so much of the planet to use for our own benefit.

Is the March FX 4.5-28x52 my new ZCO?

I must say, as someone that usually hates discussions around the product packaging “experience” (I loathe unboxing vids), I will make an exception here. That’s pretty neat-o!
Lol, yeah unboxing videos are lame, who cares about an umboxing experience??? But yes I agree, the Japanese take pride in everything, it's just their culture, the packaging is perfect and just indicative of their quality from March!

CDG, 737r or Fuzion for PRS build

What in particular do you prefer about the Fuzion over the impact?

As is always repeated here - the Fuzion is an Impact without the nasty hitch when running the bolt.

Easily Fuzion over the Impact if you want a one piece bolt 2 lug. CDG if you want a 3 lug with some different features.

I have the Fuzion and the CDG currently, sold through Impact that I had.
