    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    Ok that is what I was hoping it meant! Thanks for the info. I have not yet changed the ref altitude to 0. On the weather side of the Kestrel usually reads about 2960 range now and from AB side (station Pressure) about 2860. My local elevation about 1100 above sea level. Sound about right?

    Does the impeller have to be removed at first to calibrate compass? I didn't and it seems fine. Other reason to remove? Also, I know the manual says for the AB program will use station pressure yet the dope continually changes as you hold kestrel. So that makes me think it is gathering weather...
