Today Only, 2/17/2020,- Kestrel Sportsman Ballistics Weather Meter reduced to only $249.99, reduced from $569.99

This unit is BRAND NEW.
No outer box.
Unit comes in zip up case.

KESTREL TECHNOLOGY -
• Employs the enhanced Applied Ballistics G1/G7 solver,
including Aerodynamic Jump, Spin Drift and Coriolis
corrections to achieve accurate long-range shots.

• Choice of solution units (Mils, MOA, or clicks)- works with
any gun or targeting scope.

• Muzzle Velocity Truing allows for accurate measurement
of bullet speed without a chronograph.

• Rugged (drop tested to MIL-STD-810G standards), waterproof
(sealed to IP67 standards) and floats.

• Protective pouch, neck lanyard and Lithium AA battery included

The Kestrel Sportsman is a full-featured ballistics calculator. Providing the same trusted accuracy, reliability, and usability as the original Kestrel Sportsman Weather Meter, this integrated weather meter and ballistics solver takes the guesswork out of long-range shooting and is an ideal companion for hunters and shooters working within the supersonic flight range of their bullet. The Kestrel 5 series includes a built-in dual color backlight, extra-strong polycarbonate lens and AA battery operation. It also has optional LiNK iOS and Android wireless connectivity and app support. Like all Kestrel meters, the Kestrel Sportsman is drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof and able to withstand harsh environments without damage - so it can accompany you to the range or hunt for years to come. A range of carry pouch options makes it even easier to take your Kestrel Sportsman with you.

In addition to the ballistics solver capabilities, the Kestrel Sportsman is a comprehensive weather meter for measurement and logging of primary environmental conditions: wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, heat index, pressure and altitude. Paired with the Vane Mount, the Kestrel Elite becomes a compact, easily-deployable weather station. Your data log can be transferred to a mobile device wirelessly with the LiNK wireless communication option and Kestrel LiNK app, or to a PC/MAC with either the wireless USB Kestrel LiNK Dongle or waterproof USB Data Transfer Cable (available separately). Kestrels have been put to the test in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. U.S. Special Forces, combat weather teams, wildland firefighters, smoke jumpers, Mt. Everest expeditions and auto pit crews are just a few who rely on a Kestrel to provide them with the crucial environmental data they need. Watch any on-screen meteorologist during a hurricane, and you're sure to spot a Kestrel in action. With a Kestrel Sportsman, you can put accurate shooting solutions and environmental measurements in the palm of your hand, anywhere your adventure takes you.

LiNK wireless connectivity powered by Bluetooth Smart
Robust, easy connectivity to both iOS and Anroid mobile devices as well as Windows and Mac computers. (Computers require optional Kestrel USB dongle)

USB Data Transfer Cable
Low profile, lightweight, waterproof cable provides wired connectivity to Windows and Mac computers for fast data uploads and firmware updates. Compatible with every model in the Kestrel 5 series.

Sleek, rugged tripod vane mount
Small, secure robust vane mount turns any Kestrel 5 Series meter into a portable weather station that remians oriented into the wind. (Included in some models where noted, otherwise sold as optional accessory)

Large, high contrast screem
Easily readable text in almost any setting, including bright sunlight, with more visible information on the screen at all times. The high-resolution display is easy on the eyes, allowing you to get more information from customizable user screens, charting and graphing options without causing eye strain or fatigue.

Dual color backlight
toggle backlight color between standardwhite night-vision-preserving red (NV). The red NV backlight features an optical wavelength selected to help users sustain natural night vision and reduced brightness to avoid detection during night maneuvers.

Secure battery door
Large, O-ring sealed door provides easy, tool-free battery access

Scratch and breakage-resistant window
Rigid, polycarbonate lens with scratch-coating protects the display from damage.

Corrosion-resistant battery compartment
Battery is isolated from electronics, reducing damage in the event of a battery leak. (Note - Lithium AA batteries strongly recommended to avoid battery leakage altogether.)

Intuitive user-interface
Icon-based navigation, intuitive keypad, and multiple languages make the Kestrel a breeze to use.

Through a purchased firmware upgrade, the Kestrel Sportsman can be converted to the full Kestrel Elite with its more advanced extreme long range feature set. However you can NOT add LiNK (bluetooth)
 
Thanks guys. Ya’ll are truly awesome. Fast responses.
Just ordered one.

Just ordered one for my son from your website. Smoking deal guys. Just need to update to the latest firmware and link up to the ballistics and weather app. Once that is done you have a 5700 that can be upgraded to Elite but not really needed . Great deal!

this one already has Link though correct?

can someone please confirm if it’s compatible with to Bluetooth with the sig3000BDX? If so I’m planning to jump on this.
 
Yes it does . I have the exact same device and it is basically (once you upload the latest free firmware ) a 5700 AB blue tooth enabled unit.
The firmware updates are an easy procedure . Plenty threads here on the hide to help if you need it. This is a great deal. Free shipping. No tax for my order. These appear to be from the Bushnell/ Conx combo deal minus the rangefinder.

Does the update make it 30 guns and 10 targets as well?

Where do you find the free firmware upgrade? I only see the $190 upgrade.

You update the Firmware through the Bushnell Ballistics App. V1.37 should be the latest:



You can later upgrade the Sportsman to a full Elite version via a download from Kestrel. Using the cable is recommended:

I've only heard/read great things about Doug and Camera Land NY, but this was my first purchase. From the looks of things, it definitely won't be my last.

Thanks!
 
If you get a chance to call or even pop in for anything else you want to purchase from Doug, make sure you get to speak with Neil. I called and spoke with Neil to order mine and I must say I had a good laugh with Neil. Neil is a really nice and funny guy.
 
Damn this phone. It's like it was on repeat. And now I cant delete or edit the multiple posts. Not that I had to repeat myself on how good to see with the guys at cameraland are LoL

Anyone get there sportsman and have issues connecting bluetooth? I cant for the life of me get it to connect. Called kestrel and they said they are having issues with the sportman and call me back. Something to do with the old 1.01 firmware.

I received mine today, great deal and awesome service/shipping!

Unfortunately I am having issues w/ bluetooth connection as well. I can connect from the Kestrel Link app on IOS, but I cannot connect from the Bushnell Ballistics app. Nothing shows up on the Bluetooth screen. If I try to do a firmware update from the Kestrel Link app, it fails, I'm assuming that's because I need to do it via the Bushnell app as mentioned above, but I can't connect at all through that app. :(
 
Update...I was able to push the firmware update via the Kestrel Link iOS app. I'm not sure why it was failing at first. I did a factory reset and it worked after that.

I still can't connect via Bushnell Ballistics app though. It just sits on the "Scanning for Devices" screen.
