Reviews & Ratings for Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter with Hornady 4DOF LiNK — 1 review — Page 1

I chose the Kestrel 5700 with the Hornady ballistics data as I shoot mostly Hornady cartridge's and reload Hornady bullets. For those that are into long range precision shooting this is an indispensable tool to hit the distant target in all weather conditions. The 5700 takes all environmental factors that exist at the shooting position and renders an elevation and wind correction for the shot. With the Hornady 4DOF option you can enter a vast number of their bullets that they have tested and actually shot so the user has an unprecedented amount of data to give you the best solution.
You download the Kestrel app to your phone and the 5700 with "LINK" will send the solution to your phone via Bluetooth. If you use their Rotating Vane Mount on a tripod, you can have the unit in a place near to record the current atmospheric conditions so you don't have to leave your shooting position to go and get a new solution as conditions change, primarily the wind.
I recommend going to Kestrel Ballistis.com to their "School House" section where they have a lot of videos to explain how to use the unit. The instructions that come in the box are just a quick start and are very vague and even if you down load their instruction sheet it leaves a lot of questions.
