    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Here's what we teach for best results... 1) Go to AB Mode --> Environment 2) Set Environment Update = On 3) Take the device by the lanyard and swing it around a few times... maybe for about 10 seconds 4) Set the Environment Update = Off That's exposing the sensors to the ambient air for long...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    I've been busy working on a number of items for the Kestrels, so I haven't been monitoring the thread as closely as possible. I'll work my way up from the bottom here of the thread... 1) Doc - you can post screenshots if you like. If you want, I'll send you the BETA version like I said in...

    Farmberbrown - when you have a moment, shoot me a screenshot of the data that you have entered into the Profile loader. In addition, let me know what units you have set on the Kestrel. I'll take a look at that today and see where there may be an issue. Thanks for letting us know about this...

    mdesign - Excellent - glad you got it updated. varmint slayer - That's odd behavior and that's the first report that I am aware of on such an issue. I would contact Kestrel directly on that item. Bob Lee - Regarding the OS X version - We've discussed such a version but are not currently...

    Bob Lee - The ballistics code ensures that it ALWAYS uses station pressure, regardless of your calibration settings. This was done intentionally since this is a very common question and one that many people do incorrectly. The ballistics solver always needs to know the station (absolute)...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Farmer brown - we noticed that with internet explorer, it for some unknown reason caches those images from the output of the WEZ. The best way to do it to make sure you get the results is to hit refresh on the page. Even though we do a new calculation each time, internet explorer caches the...

    The fastest way to do this is to be at your main ballistics screen showing the elevation and windage. From there, hit the enter key. That will pop you into the target screen. Scroll left or right to then update the range quickly. Press the power/back button to pop back out to the main...

    Farmerbrown - one thing we will add in the near future is the units on a per entry basis - thanks for your feedback on that. In addition, I believe the units issue is now address where you can now change seamlessly between metric and imperial. Give it a try and see what happens. Make sure...

    Hey guys - thanks for the heads up on the profile loader too... we'll see what we can do there. We'll have to do a new release of that. It will probably happen after SHOT Show.

    We figured out where the error is at with the bullet length and have a fix for it coming up. It should be up tomorrow some time.

    Thanks farmerbrown - I see the issue with the bullet length and we'll get that resolved. I also saw the windspeed/direction issue that someone else pointed out as well. We'll get that resolved today as well. Thanks for the thorough review.

    Nate O., I ended up following up with Mike via email, but this may be helpful for the group as well so I posted here as well... --- I ran the numbers this morning for your setup with our windows application, which matches the Kestrels exactly and should match Shooter very well also. I was able...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Mike, I'd be happy to walk you through it. We've never seen anything greater than 0.1 to 0.2 mils difference even in extreme long range shooting with a good muzzle velocity and BC. There are a couple of things to keep in mind though like the aerodynamic jump (good wind direction and value)...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    264Charlie - No, we have not allowed for aerodynamic jump to be directly turned off. To achieve the most accurate results, you'll want to have that enabled and want to have valid wind data entered for wind 1. Aerodynamic jump is calculated off of the wind 1 value. This is especially true when...
