    Night Vision Why is leaving batteries in thermal and NV devices such a big no no?

    Yes, Just 2 weeks ago I looked at a package of Durocell AA batteries with a 2025 expiration date and four of the 16 were swollen and leaking. I have had several Durocell batteries leak in a device and ruin the contacts. One flashlight had batteries so swollen that I had to dissemble the...

    Trouble with AB download for PC

    I downloaded the build 70 and placed it on my desktop. It says Build 70 on the icon. When I open it and click on the "about" icon, it shows that it is Build 68. I can't find build 70 although it shows up in my search through the Windows search engine. I open the file through the search engine...

    Trouble with AB download for PC

    I have a 5700 elite lINK. I downloaded the 1.27 firmware to my Samsung Galaxy S7 and transferred the upgrade to my Kestrel with no apparent problems. I like to set up my gun profiles on my PC and transfer the info to my Kestrel via the optical cable. This has been easier for me to do in the...

    XLR Envy Chassis for sale

    This chassis is cut for a Bighorn TL2 short action. As I understand it, this is the same cut as a Remington except for the bolt handle cut. To use a Remington bolt, the bolt handle cut will have to be enlarged toward the rear or a straight handled replacement bolt can be used. This chassis is...

    Rifle Scopes Field scope for a .22 Magnum

    I need a good scope for my short range pest/varmint rifle. It stays in a roof gun holder in my Polaris Ranger. I bought a new Leopold VX II, 2-7 and have decided it is junk. It will not hold zero and the adjustments are just an arbitrary guess. I have sent it back for repair but in a short time...

    Crazy fire solutions from a 5700

    I received a new 5700 from Andrew after we talked about the symptoms. The new unit has the same problem as the old unit. It appears now that the phone is the problem. Andrew and I talked again and he suggested that I try a tablet that has Android with the 7.0 version or higher. I bought a new...

    I have a good WiFi connection and I have followed all of the above directions. My Kestrel and Android will not recognize each other either with Link or Link Ballistics.

    Crazy fire solutions from a 5700

    After deleting the app on my device and reinstalling it from the app store, then repairing it to my Kestrel I see that I still have version 1.22. How do I change that or do I need to?

    I have my profiles loaded in the Profile Loader build 60. I deleted all of the profiles from my Kestrel as some of them are corrupted.

    Crazy fire solutions from a 5700

    The unit is set to yards. The Link App does not try to update to 153. How do I do that? I do not know how to accept the upgrade to 1.23. Do I go to the Kestrel website to get it? Every time I have had a Kestrel update on the 4500 and now this one, some of my data has been scrambled. For this...
