    Kestrel sportsman compass issue

    Jacer, by chance have you checked the compass reading with another compass, and is it relative close to each other? Trying to problem solve with you. Just trying to see if it is a compass issue, or a wind direction issue on the Kestrel. To be honest, I do not really use the DOF capture, and...

    Scope truing / MV truing

    You should test the mechanical error in your scope before you calibrate the kestrel. I mean both mechanical and the reticle also. Doing this before hand, you will know what the error is. For your example on what you gave. If you are calibrating and adjusting the elevation knob to match the...

    Do you need to rezero after calibrating MV?

    Could be number of factors going on here. If it is high, the MV or BC that how you choose to calibrate, would have to be changed quite a bit. That alone tells me there is something not set right. Calibration is a fine adjustment when everything is set up and repeated correctly. So, trying to...

    Kestrel sportsman compass issue

    Compass is off, meaning does it track what north really is still? Try setting the wind to the clock method, not as a azimuth. See if that cleans up your wind angle and what the hold should be.

    MK11 Mod 0 Project

    Must say it is looking nice. It's been 8 years since my issued MK11 was replaced with another system. When did you submit the paperwork for the suppressor?

    New Kestrel Elite Owner, Class coming up.

    With everything zeroed out, such as AJ, Latitude, spin Drift, and wind, really no need to capture DOF. It will work just fine. If you want to see what wind is doing at your position, just go into weather mode in the wind menu and see what it is and the angle. Then put your wind calls into...

    300 PRC update

    I would not go below the 80gr. point, you will have the chance of not fire forming brass at that low loading. If you shoot suppressed, you will see why. I would start at least 1 gr. over the 168 data to start. Of course, depending on that powder and case capacity with that bullet type. Just...

    I too ordered one with a lead time they had on their site, and pretty much spot on with what they quoted.

    Range Report M855 ammo.

    M193 is good practice and reliable ammo for what it is. I never expect much in accuracy, it is good 1.5 MOA depending on rifle or carbine. Pull those 55 FMJ off, replace with a 55 match bullet, and you have great tight shooting ammo. The powder charges are pretty much the same, maybe + or - a...
