I have just seen that Colby Hodnett has released 4 videos going though the kestrel and the accuracy 1st new menu that they have put on with the firm ware update.
An amazing bit of kit which I consider for long range essential.
I havnt watched it yet but will be soon.
Theres lots of little tricks that no doubt he will be showing as well.https://www.facebook.com/98750071800...0270342392802/

That's what the solutions look likeQuote:

Pretty tricky but awesome!
You can even reserve you scope 1.8 mils down and then just dial your metres with out having to do the math.
Eg 500 m is 3.2 mils if speed drop is 1.8.
Very cool bit of kithttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a25af6c89b.jpg

been doing the speed drop since his dad did a school done here its very handy. But everyone needs to works it out for their gun. I cant just use 1.8 on mine. My old 260 was -2+2 450= 4-2 and 5=2 to get 2.7mils. was good between 350 and 650 to within .2mils
I have the one with the conX range finder, haven't had a decent play with them yet but look to do calcs and ballistics quite well, don't think mine does the speed drop thing though.
The great thing is that the latest firmware update in the 5700 works it all out for you on the day.Quote:

@andyanimal31 is there a formula for yards and moa or is it only mil based?
Oh man, the reply to this one is going to be entertaining :DQuote:

I don't own one (yet) but having a read of the manual it seems to work in the following formats.
Eunit/Wunit – Elevation/Windage Unit. These are the units of measure used in the elevation and windage turrets of the scope.
Mil –Miliradian
TMOA – True Minute of Angle (typically written MOA) where 1 MOA equals 1.047" at 100yds
SMOA – Shooters MOA, a less frequently used approximation of MOA where 1 MOA is rounded to exactly 1 inch at 100 yards.
That's my take on it but I could well be wrong
to work it out manually it needs to be milrads.

As Blair says it is a mil and metre based system.Quote:
