Re: Kestrel and Horus out yet?
Bluetooth can be used to feed data to an external ballistics program. Here's one in use:

you capture the info as opposed to a constant feed (using Shooter ona Droid).

Re: Kestrel and Horus out yet?
I got one in for T&E this evening. It took me about 30mins to calibrate the compass and setup 2 user guns with multiple bc's and mv temps.
Quick comparisons with JBM and Pesja's software are very close.
It will be a week before I can get to the range.

Re: Kestrel and Horus out yet?
Gotcha, what would I need the bluetooth model for if it has the Atrag balistic built in? It is like 100.00 more, and am wondering if I need the feature or not. I just haven't caught on, and have never played with one. Thanks, JPG

Re: Kestrel and Horus out yet?
Question:
Does it display a drop chart or only one given distance.
Also can the wind value be locked when measured?

Both are available. The target screen gives data for a specific distance entered by the shooter.
There is also a Range card available on another screen.
Also can the wind value be locked when measured?
The wind speed can be locked. Wind Direction and two wind speeds for bracketing can be captured and set via the wind meter or adjusted by the user.

You can download the User manual in PDF format and see the overall function of the unit.

Re: Kestrel and Horus out yet?
Sounds great
I think I will have to get one then.
Thanks for the link to the user manual.
I see that you can select MIL BUT is there an option to go Metric
Meters, m/s, Celcius, Hpa etc?
