Now Taking Pre-Orders
With integrated Applied Ballistics software, Kestrel users are now able to select from either G1 or G7 ballistic coefficients (BC) when calculating a trajectory. The new Ballistics Kestrel also offers the “Litz” measured BC library of over 225 bullets, a library that is considered to be the most extensive source of measured data for modern small arms bullets. In addition to these features, users can “train” the software to match a specific rifle based on observed impacts at long range with the ballistics calibration feature. With more accurate BC data, shooters are empowered to make more precise trajectory calculations.


The Kestrel booth was busy this year with the launch of our new Ballistics Weather Meter Line, taking pre-orders for the all-new Kestrel® Shooter's Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics and offering our “Trade-In, Trade-Up” program enabling customers to get a credit toward a new Kestrel and donate their existing model to AmericanSnipers.org . In case you didn't get a chance to stop by, we've decided to extend the show specials 2 weeks out, specials will expire on Friday, February 15th.

Enter PROMO CODE SHOT2013 in comment box upon checkout to receive discounted price. If you prefer to place your order over the phone, be sure to mention the promo code to the Kestrel Representative.

Dealer SHOT Show special will also be valid until February 15th. Contact Kestrel Sales Manager, Tommy Loomis or Kestrel Account Rep, Doug Hall for more information.

Basic models and accessories are also being sold at show prices, for more information, please contact Kestrel Customer Service at 800-784-4221.


Support AmericanSnipers.org Kestrel supports AmericanSnipers.org year-round but we tend to get a lot of questions about our partnership at SHOT show and the weeks that follow. If any customer purchases a Kestrel from us at full retail price and wishes to support AmericanSnipers.org, we will send the same unit to AmericanSnipers. If you already have a Kestrel weather meter and still want to support the organization, you can take advantage of our "Trade-In, Trade-Up" program. Trade in your current Kestrel and we will refurbish it and give you a credit to use toward your new Kestrel purchase. For more information, contact the Kestrel Customer Service team at 800-784-4221.

Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

Obviously this saves some data but anyone know how many different loads/rifles can be programed into it?
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

How easy is it to input data? I dont see a keyboard. Is the screen easy to read on these?

The data is entered in the computer and transferred to the Kestrel, then you select your "gun" from the list.

It requires you to do most of the work up front.
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

If you had the bluetooth how would you use it? Could you link it to another device, which would make it quicker or easier to determine a firing solution? Or is the blue tooth just something to save you from needing to use a USB when setting the Kestral up?
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

Bluetooth is being used to sync with PLRFs, DownRange wind sensor arrays and to transfer data back and forth from your PC.

Other technologies to sync with the Kestrel are being developed as well.
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

Will it work with a Mac?
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

One last question that I forgot to ask. These will ship in April?
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

That's what we're shooting for.

Discount code tutorial;
have to enter it in the comments box and the discount is taken after the purchase. It cannot be entered into the coupon code box.
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

Gasgun, Thanks I appreciate your looking into that for me.

In the meantime, you can run Windows apps easily in Parallels. I do this all the time with ColdBore.
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

Have a 4000 that I have used for over ten years. Just ordered the new 4500 HORUS and looking forward to receiving it in a few months. Have a marksmanship school the first week in April and hopefully I will have arrived by then.

Any timeframe estimate?
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

is the data real time with the on board Ballistic calculator? (Horus or AB)
Meaning as the variables change is the new data factored in, and reflected instantly in the firing solution?



 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

Yes, as atmospherics change, so does your firing solution. You can always capture live atmospherics and then toggle off if you choose. Both options exist.

as for a timeline for Mac, I cant give an exact timeline but I'll keep asking.
 
Re: Pre Order deal for new Kestrel! Won't last long.

Well that is good to know. I just ordered a 4500NV w/BT and it is in transit now. I kept putting it off and putting it off but finally gave in to my OCD of needing to know, and then find this new set up and am like dang. But I think I will stick with this and see how AB version pans out for everyone, and maybe upgrade towards the end of the year.

Which Device's and/or Ballistic calc's can you use Bluetooth with?
-Right now I use an iPhone 5 with Ballistic AE but also have shooter loaded as a back up.
But I have access to some others as well for use as a stand alone.(no phone service)
