Hello all, I am looking at a 10 year old Kestrel Sportsman that has been upgraded to "Elite" with a model on the screen of 5700AL. I think the firmware is still 1.48 so that will need to be updated to 1.53. Looks spotless, no scuffs or scratches at all that I could see.
This will be my first Kestrel ballistic solver but I have used Kestrel weather meters for environmental/work reasons. Those were good, solid tools for sure, used for a couple to 12 years maybe? Others took over those projects and no idea where they are now.
Concerned about the age and how long it will last for me. As such, I am curious as to how long your Kestrels have been running in the wild and would appreciate any input.
If this should be in any other forum please let me know. Thanks in advance!
