    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    I have a service ticket in with Vectronix about the issue. Still waiting to hear back. What does work is just using target card on the kestrel. My work flow right now is to go into target card on the kestrel and click down, range target 1, click down, range target 2... etc. Then I switch...

    Vector X problems

    First I've heard of anything like that. Have you tried swapping the battery?

    Garmin Foretrex 901 and the system

    @docUSMC Since the update i cannot connect my kestrel elite to the 901. It picks up my vectors just fine, but only connects them under the applied ballistics menu on the 901, which i guess would be the same as the kestrel. Has me thinking I cannot have both connected at the same time. Either...

    Gordon-ish Setup with OCM5 Question

    That barrel won't work. The step down indexes inside the collar. You'd need an SPR profile barrel to be made for the ops collar to work. Like Trigger Monkey said above, the OTB or Collar from Otter Creek is the best bet.

    Vector X - Just a quick review.

    The good thing about the vectors is that you have the option to use the onboard sensors, kestrel, manual inputs and nearest station internet inputs through the app. So if you have these sitting in the sun on a tripod, you have several other options. and you can toggle temp, pressure and humidity...

    Garmin Foretrex 901 and the system

    Got a software update this morning. Went to their website to see the update details, but only found last year's march update the most recent published. It looks like they may have fixed some of the wind issues in target card. Only thing I can tell so far without taking them outside is that the...

    Every road and highway around here is under constant construction. It never fucking ends. been that way for at least 30 years.

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    Oh yeah, we're talking about 2 different things. I've only tried target card on a separate device with the 901, not the kestrel itself. "unusable target data received" is what will show on a kestrel when paired to the vector when the range is too close (less than 10 yds) or if you get a bad...

    It seems since covid, they don't give a shit about anything. Unless you're driving like a complete jackass

    San Antonio for 3 weeks.

    lol, you caught our yearly snowstorm. Don't worry, you won't have that shit down here near San Antonio. But be careful on the way, we don't know how to drive in this shit.

    San Antonio for 3 weeks.

    Burnt bean in Seguin is legit. Worth a stop. and since this is your first trip to Texas, we have a thing called breakfast tacos so just be prepared for that. The more run-down ghetto looking the building is, the better the tacos. This is only for south of Austin. North of that real mexican food...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    I can see that. Especially a 2 day match where you can load the match book into your kestrel the night before. The vectors are really only good as a spotter and confirming range to the targets. I still use my leupold mk4 more than the vectors for PRS. At least until my range enhancers show up...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    I just went out back and tested how the kestrel, Garmin 901 and vectors all worked together. With all 3 connected the Garmin is the hub, it uses the kestrel in PC/Mobile mode so it doesn't try to connect to the vectors. The kestrel feeds the 901 with atmospherics and wind direction and the...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    There could be a patent thing going on, but kestrel had wind capture first. I guess it could be something with it just being in binoculars. The internal compass is definitely measuring DOF, but I think the problem is when on standalone, the wind direction is oriented off of the target direction...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    That's the way I thought they'd be too. My Fury's have that option, vortex calls it "wind capture". I went through the whole manual for the vectors and there's no mention of how to do anything other than the chicken dance and navigate menus. So it's trial and error figuring out how they actually...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    I'm just getting around to playing with all the features. It seems as of now when using the vectors as a stand alone device, you must manually change wind direction. It doesn't "capture" the wind to a certain azimuth then calculate with DOF. Which is pretty lame, hopefully they can add that in...

    Vectronix X Range Enhancers Availability?

    That might have been for the range enhancers only, because the image quality in my 10x set and my buddies 12x is amazing.

    Thermal Coyote hunting round

    I'm actually planning a 12" next just for that reason. I was waiting on the 30 round mags to be available.

    Thermal Coyote hunting round

    I agree, I've had great results with 5.56. I built the 6 max for a dedicated thermal gun to do everything from dogs to big hogs, which the 5.56 struggle to roll up. The 6 max barrels stabilize everything from 50-105's. I haven't tried the heavies yet because it's not what I built it for, but...
