[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 1313413, member: 84194"] It is time for an update now that I've had lots of experience with the Kestrel. I point it at the target and input the yardage from my rangefinder. Then point the Kestrel into the wind to get a wind reading and it gives a firing solution to dial up on the scope. The rest is up to me. As long as I get a good distance to the target the solution is spot on. I had a few shots that were falling low on the target and some range time with my chronograph gave the reason. lightbulb I had the MV entered at 2770 fps on my 75 gr A-max and it was actually averaging 2710. I made the correction in the Kestrel and it fixed the issue. Shots are now spot on. One of my best and most fun days was very windy. The Kestrel delivered perfect firing solutions out to 400 yards in 15 mph crosswinds.gun) Rangefinder, Kestrel with Applied Ballistics and extremely accurate handloads means lots of dead rockcucks. I'm over 400 now for the season. :D [/QUOTE]
