Casey Osborn's Review of Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter with LiNK
I just started competing in F Class matches, PRS and 1K yard gong challenges last year. I have a Garmin Xero, the Hornady ballistics calculator and this was the one piece of gear I lacked. It was on sale but there was a red tab on the page saying to call customer service for a special offer. Customer service was super helpful as always and I got an extra $30 off. Opticsplanet has been great to work with over the past 10 years. They are my go to for gun parts and gear. Some reviews I've read said the Kestrel 5700 was a pain to figure out but I didn't have any issues setting it up or collecting data. The Kestrel app is very intuitive. I have an old school DOPE card I made on a 3x5 card and put it in in an Under Armour QB sleeve, but once you build your profile into the Kestrel app it is very easy to get your firing solutions for whatever distance you are shooting at from 200 to 2K yards. If you do want to move on to ELR shooting there is an option to upgrade the Kestrel 5700 to the Kestrel 5700 Elite with a firmware upgrade, which means you can get into this at a lower price point and then upgrade it without having to buy another model which is super handy. If you want to take the next step in long distance shooting I would highly recommend the Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter with LiNK from Opticsplanet.
