Howdy fellas,
Alright, I will admit. I'm computer stupid. I did manage to figure out the Kestrel and make fairly good use of it. I read LLs article on the zero offset feature, even went back and reviewed the original instructions.
Still not clear on what goes where, so I m asking for assistance from better brains than mine. So if in rifle number one I use hybrid 140s, zero at 100yds so point of aim equals point of impact. Then I switch to hornady 147 and my impact is say 2 inches low. Do I create a second rifle profile for the 147 grain round and input the 2 inches low in the zero offset window there? Or do I input in the 140 hybrid entry?
Thank you in advance for any clarification.
Tim.

 
Your on point. With a 147 gr profile created, input it 2" low. Only way to find out that it tracks is to shoot it.
 
Thank you. Kinda what I figured but glad you clarified that. Will be testing tomorrow...Will post my results. Hope it will help someone else too...
 
F145BCF1-2233-44D5-A1D2-3F2C54A788BD.pngYour on track what I do is say have a “master” profile for the rifle/scope/ammo combination that is actually zeroed, then I will create secondary profiles for the rifle/ammo combinations that aren’t actually zeroed (have the offsets) when I name them I usually do it like this here is an example from my Kilo 2400 App.....[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/www.snipershide.com\/shooting\/core\/webkit-fake-url:\/\/bbd1106a-1d1e-46d6-8756-dc165f503e51\/imagepng"}[/IMG2]
