Available in the colour Tan. The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics is a comprehensive weather meter for measurement and logging of primary environmental conditions, including wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, heat index, pressure, and altitude. It also contains a powerful ballistics calculator to help you hit your long-range shot on the first try. This meter employs the Applied Ballistics bullet library of custom drag models, an exact measurement of your bullet’s drag profile plus corrections for Aerodynamic Jump, Spin Drift, Coriolis, and Drop Scale Factoring to achieve accurate extended long-range shots.
– What’s new with the Kestrel Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics over the previous Kestrel 4500 Applied Ballistics series:
– Bluetooth LINK to Smartphones / Mobiel / Android / IOS
– Takes 1 AA battery (instead of 2 AAA)

– Kestrel Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics Features:
– Employs the Applied Ballistics bullet library of custom drag models, an exact measurement of your bullet’s drag profile plus corrections for Aerodynamic Jump, Spin
– Drift, Coriolis, and Drop Scale Factoring to achieve accurate extended long-range shots.
– Expanded features include a customizable Range Card, and an expanded Ballistics Data Table as well as storage for up to 16 gun and bullet profiles and 5 saved targets.
– Calculate accurate fire control solutions for long range rifle shooting.
– Select either G1 or G7 ballistic coefficient when calculating a trajectory.
– Get ballistic coefficient data for more than 225 long range bullets.
– The AB Kestrel comes with numerous pre-loaded drag models, but not entire gun/ammo profiles. In other words you have to build your gun profile, but you can choose from the list of bullets when modeling your ammo.
– Measure up to 15 environmental parameters at your fingertips.
– “Train” the software to match your specific rifle based on observed impacts at long range
– Calculates and adjusts for gyroscopic spin drift and Coriolis effect
– Adjust for angle
– Wind speed/air velocity
– Temperature
– Wind chill
– Relative humidity
– Heat stress index
– Dewpoint temp
– Wet bulb temp
– Barometric pressure
– Altitude
– Density altitude
– Wind direction
– Crosswind
– Headwind/Tailwind
– Pressure trend
