CorrectOk, thanks! So just one more time to 100% verify. If I shot a group in quadrant C, I would put something like -0.5'' in for ZH and -0.5'' for ZO?

That is how it works now, a change places the current profile on the top. We will look into it.Maybe I missed it somewhere, but is there a procedure for maintaining sorted profiles on the Kestrel?
I sorted them manually on the app (223-69, 223-77, 223-80., 243-105 etc.) and transferred them to the elite. Seemed OK till I edited the MV on the Kestrel and once saved it changed its position.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

I thought it was always like that. LOLThat is how it works now, a change places the current profile on the top. We will look into it.
Make sure your fw is current 1.49 and ssf is in the gun profile as a submenu of Euint and Wunit. Offsets are there for Elite only.Is it possible to adjust sight offset on the kestrel? I can find the box on the app, but not on kestrels setting. Also, is the scale correction factor available on the device as well?
Ah that explains it. Mine is a sportsman's modelMake sure your fw is current 1.49 and ssf is in the gun profile as a submenu of Euint and Wunit. Offsets are there for Elite only.
I solved all of the above with help from posters and READING the directions ! Thanks to all!New User - Kestrel 5700 w/Link.
Probably doing something dumb.
Downloaded App for Kestrel on Iphone - put all data into the app and sent to kestrel.
Tried to 'mirror image' the data in the "shooter' App and the Kestrel program. Cam up with data that isnt what it should be
ran 600 yards for a Rem700 1/11.5" bbl, 175 Berger BTHP (30420) and used a G7 BC of .262
MV of 2636 fps. used zero wind, same temps, humidity, altitude.
Shooter AP program with same weather dats as in Kestrel shows Elevation of 15.0 MOA
Kestrel Ballistics shows 14.29 MOA
For 300 yards
Shooter program shows U4.7 moa which matched the target hits vs
Kestrel U3.93 MOA
Am sure I am missing something - suggestions welcome
@Kestrel Ballistics sorry if this has been already covered, but is the Terrapin X passing the DoF to the 5700E while ranging? Is there any other LRF bino doing that actually?
I have finally managed to screw up my humidity protector film. I only noticed it now, it has probably catched a small twig somewhere during last few months.

Do you have some repair set for 5700? The impeller also came apart but got it back together with full functionality.
Sorry, I explained it badly.in the app go to settings and select Profile Downloads Overwrite to keep from creating dups when loading profiles from the Kestrel to the app.
When downloading profiles from app to Kestrel you have 2 choices Overwrite - delete all profiles on Kestrel and load the selected ones only or Append which simply adds the profiles selected to those already on the Kestrel - this will create dups if you don't first delete the profiles on the Kestrel you don't want.
Disconnect the Kestrel from the "white" LiNK app. The it should be visible to connect to in the Ballistics app.The Kestrel ballistic app will not show that it’s connected therefore not allowing me to “send profile”
Is the Ballistics app up to date? 1.272 is current version on iOSStill will not connect to the ballistics app only the new white app which seems to be nothing but weather conditions. And I also get this message on the legacy Kestrel app.
I have tried completely disconnecting from the white app but still to no avail. I have made sure I’m on PC mobile for Bluetooth.
It immediately connects to the Kestrel app as seen in the screenshot. Any advice?
I'm not an iOS guy so getting to the limits of my advice here. Double check the permissions for the Ballistics app, Apple and Google both now disable permissions for apps that haven't been used for a few months.Yes sir.
Do you get the check boxes to select them?Bingo. Found it you were right. In the iPhone settings under Kestrel BT was disabled. Got it connected. Now it won’t let me transfer my rifles from the app to the Kestrel. Only vice versa![]()
I know, I have looked everywhere for it. I guess Ieft it at the range and someone else snagged it. I have the app but can't really use that like a kestrel. Hate to buy another but I will have toUgh. Sucks they don’t have a feature to track it like an iPhone can track AirPods or air tags etc.
I had mine fall out of a range bag onto my driveway, fortunately it was still there hours later when I returned. I've been religious about repacking it into the same zippered pocket since then.I know, I have looked everywhere for it. I guess Ieft it at the range and someone else snagged it.

I wouldn't think so unless they registered it as well with the app or somethingCurious if kestrel can track who is using that device based on the serial number.
Would be next if it had to be registered with a login to use the kestrel and the app serial number specific.
No wind truing. Check your Ballistics page to see if the discrepancy is in Spin Drift or AJ which can be turned off.Is there a way to manipulate ONLY the windage answers coming from the Kestrel? say at 600yd in a wind I know my specific gun shoots 4.1E and with a wind DOF and speed inputted I should hold 0.8L....my Kestrel reads 4.1U because I 'trued' the profile to line up with my guns reality, but the windage answer is always ~30-40% off of what I know I should be using/what reality tells me after I use the incorrect answer from Kestrel.
Im not asking why the discrepancy - Im asking is there a way to 'true' the windage aspect independently from the elevation truing aspect (other than use the wrong DOF and speeds to magnify/minimize the wind by1/3 for Kestrel inputs).
Maybe try adjusting the Stability Factor until it starts to align with your real-world findings. But really, it is probably just a subtle error in determining your aggregate wind direction cosine, terrain effects, etc.Is there a way to manipulate ONLY the windage answers coming from the Kestrel? say at 600yd in a wind I know my specific gun shoots 4.1E and with a wind DOF and speed inputted I should hold 0.8L....my Kestrel reads 4.1U because I 'trued' the profile to line up with my guns reality, but the windage answer is always ~30-40% off of what I know I should be using/what reality tells me after I use the incorrect answer from Kestrel.

Those are personal drag models. Basically ballistic data obtained from the AB Mobile Lab at various matches across the nation.I’m shooting 22 lapua Centre X. When I select this from the bullet library I get all these options.
Using the top one I get excellent results. But what are all the {PDM} Lapua(Rimfire) CenterX(xxx) options? I guess I’m asking what does the number mean. Is it distance in yards?
Thanks!

best is not exactly how i would word it. one of the PDMs might actually be match your data better but there's no way to knowThanks!
So best one for me to use would be the generic top one?
i wonder if they have significant outliers and how they handle them in regards to the CDMI spoke with Bryan at the NF ELR last year about the CDM for each bullet. He said they 'update' that curve based on all the PDMs they gather. The more PDMs = more 'accurate' CDM. I asked him if I had the CDM dialed for my specific rifle if it would change when they update their CDM. He said the CDM would be used if you created a new profile on that bullet.
Just more info.
Aerodynamic jump enabled and different DoF on one card?Target card(s) – 5700Eliete FW 1.49
I created two target cards, one for a range I compete/practice at often and one "manual" so I can manually input unknown distances for other ranges.
When I change target cards, the elevation changes slightly. For example, for 400y or "C" my DOPE is 1.74. If I change the target card to "manual" and input 400y is says my DOPE is 1.8.
- 600y or “F” is 3.55
- “Manual” 600y is 3.61
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Or, what should I be checking?
Thanks!
I would check if different angle or dof was captured on either.Target card(s) – 5700Eliete FW 1.49

Because this is enabled by default:It was DoF... One was at 12, and the other was at 3 O'clock. Surprised that it had an impact. I'd like to understand that at some point
Thanks for the help
Are you using DSF?Hey guys,
Have two questions and want to premise this by saying I'm an idiot so here goes...
1) Took the Vudoo to the range this evening and wanted to true the MV. Got everything good at 50, set the range at 198 yards and got a hold of 7.24Mils. Let 5 fly and was above and below the waterline with some other software saying I was .04Mils ( about 1/4" for the group) low to POA. Or maybe a 1 or 2 FPS adjustment. I was kinda baffled that I was that close (I've had some horrible results because I suck!) so I wanted to ask did I get lucky or is this is normal if I am feeding everything the right data?
2) When I was in the Kestrel (Ballistics mode) looking at the MV I saw that MV-Temp was off. This should be on correct?
Thank y'all for the help!
P.S. If this is the wrong thread lewt me know and I will delete it!
I rarely if ever true MV. That was something left over from when chronographs were not that accurate. Typically if your scope height input is accurate, and you get a good velocity from an accurate chrono like a Magnetospeed, and your firing direction is input correctly, you are simply truing BC. Long range .22 (or ELR in general) can be a bit different and you may need to play with DSF to get everything trued up, but inside 200 yards is probably not far enough to require tuning with DSF.Hey guys,
