i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would love any help you can give me
@Aiden Grayson thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
We use the lanyard that comes with the Kestrel to indicate wind direction. Let it hang down and watch it move with the wind. Then turn the Kestrel and take a capture.
Sir, I love your videos. Very informative and not full of clutter. Just to the point. I like it. Thank you you have exponentially improved my shooting through reloading tips and instruction to basic rifle set up. Thank you.
Thank you for all your informative videos. Can you please explain how the Kestrel is able to record an accurate angle of fire without an aiming device?
Xolani Gubula The Kestrel doesn’t have an integrated tool to measure angle of fire. I use my LRF, ACI, or iPhone to measure it when needed, then input the angle to the Kestrel.
Hi, Great videos I really enjoy them. Can you tell me how to change the DOF when your using the live wind mode on a tripod. Can you use the Iphone to get a new DOF or do you put the angle in manually ? Regards Greg
+Panhandle Precision yeah the videos are so helpful. I really appreciate it. I'm finally going to move away from all my other programs and focus on this Kestrel with Applied Ballistics. Thank you
Again thank you very much for your videos they are always very helpful. Have a question about the degrees, your direction to the shop we do manually as you show here. But what about the latitude if you go into the environment setting or something that says ”Lat... 34.8°” can you explain the difference? Does the other one and put automatically but we always choose direction of shot? Thank you very much
so when you do a wind capture and it calculates dross wind component/MOA does it use gust and avg. or??? do you only get 1 wind correction that way? Thanks Mark
If you go into the wind screen on the Kestrel, you'll see there are two wind zones (WS1 & WS2). Depending on the speeds you enter there (or the unit reads as gusts while doing a capture), the wind could be so light for the distance that it's splitting both ways. Spin drift is being accounted for, so if you're anywhere near 800 or more yards, you start getting an automatic .5 MOA or more right drift that has to be accounted for. If the wind isn't enough to offset that, you could get a left correction notice even if the wind is blowing from the right.
Do you feel using this set up, compared to kestrel 4500 and ballistic program in my phone, is any more accurate? Does seem like it would capture the information a lot quicker making reading more current? Thanks in advance.
+Extinction X I don't know about more accurate, but it definitely takes a lot of user errors out of the equation, and yes, the wind capture can help with the wind calls. I used a combination of 4500AB, Whiz Wheel, BulletFlight, and range cards last year. I liked them all for different situations. I think that once I get trajectory validations done with the K5700, I'll probably be using it for the majority of my LR shooting. The ability to pair it to my phone via Bluetooth opens up some interesting possibilities.
+Panhandle Precision jajajaj....terrain....? bush grass valleys? ridges? up here is mostly bush crown land....and i have run a few while elk/ deer hunting so in terms of food...im not very verse in that department so im gonna do some research
your videos are incredibly helpful. thank you. but can the Kestrel tell me the angle to the target? i know it does degrees to the target and everything else, but what about angle? like if i'm looking up at 45 degree? do I have to figure that out?
Kestrels do not have an inclinometer. You have to use an ACI/ADI, slope doper, or a device with an inclinometer. I use an ACI or my iPhone. I would really like to see Kestrel come up with something for this built into the meter!
@@PanhandlePrecision just seems like capturing the degree of shot with just the kestrel wouldn’t be super accurate if you simply just pointing it in the direction of your shot.
Inability to read the Kestrel's screen at the beginning of the video wasn't a big deal for those of us who can understand and comprehend English, considering he explained what he was doing while he was doing it, then reviewed what he did in more depth later in better light.
Eight years old and still one of the best videos describing the KESTREL 5700 Elite. Thank you.
These are literally some of the best shooting tech videos on youtube.
Just about to purchase one of these. Thank you for a good in-depth tutorial
First time stumbling on your channel. Great information and good to see some representation from Idaho. GO VANDALS!
This was extremely helpful, Sam.
Thanks for taking the time, putting together your videos.
Especially this series on the kestrel.

@Aiden Grayson It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Larry Jaxon no problem xD
Appreciate the time & work doing these videos. They are helping with my new Kestrel.
Just the information I needed. Thanks!
Thanks for the videos! You've saved me so much time and frustration.

Thanks a ton had this thing for month now you answered my main question gonna know this thing thanks to you my new friend

Subscribed!!! Very nice and informative vids. Thank You
Great vid, thanks!
thank you for the videos. Will you be doing one where you show the bluetooth hook up and screen on your iPhone?
+Craig Melchiano Yes. There will be a series about the LiNK system and how to use it. Thanks for watching!

How strong was that wind?! also why does the anemometer sound like it is rattling.
wouldn't the wind be different at the target as opposed to where you took the reading??
I just got mine and i need to know where on the kestrel you go to capture the info.
so when you do a wind capture and it calculates dross wind component/MOA does it use gust and avg. or??? do you only get 1 wind correction that way?
Thanks
Mark
I notice you did not calibrate the compass, so how did you capture wind?
Thanks for the very helpful video. Do you know why the kestrel sometimes displays windage showing both L and R? Like this "W 0.40L0.17R"
Thanks
If you go into the wind screen on the Kestrel, you'll see there are two wind zones (WS1 & WS2).

+Panhandle Precision Thanks for the explanation. Made a lot of sense.
Thanks for asking--- I was wondering the SAME thing!
so how do you get it to just read live wind ?
Great explenation
How does it measure the muzzle velocity ?
where on it do you find lock update?
Do you feel using this set up, compared to kestrel 4500 and ballistic program in my phone, is any more accurate? Does seem like it would capture the information a lot quicker making reading more current?
Thanks in advance.

This is guy amazing!
hey sam...will u ever do a instructional/tips vedeo on bear hunting?
+JP811931 We were just talking about that very thing. It is on the list!
+Panhandle Precision Im in Alberta Canada...prime bear country....id like to go after one...but its something new for me...soni thought if ask the pro
Find the food, find the bears!

Its quite clear that this unit is way over my head. Couldnt see his screen and dont understand why those parameters are saved.
114 degrees?
Thanks, and go Vandals!
Does the kestrel not tell you the degree of your shot?
It does with a target capture.
@@PanhandlePrecision so if you pair a range finder with a kestrel does it automatically calculate the direction of shot and degree of shot?
@@codyarmstrong576 The Leica 3200 does.
@@PanhandlePrecision just seems like capturing the degree of shot with just the kestrel wouldn’t be super accurate if you simply just pointing it in the direction of your shot.
@@codyarmstrong576 Plenty accurate enough.
but it wont tell you what's happening at the target
Do people hit the dislike button for fun?🤬🤬
Thank god for my eagle eye vision i could see exactly all the info on the screen!

Billy Dixon at Adobe walls didn't use one. lol
I’m sorry, that’s a whole lot of stuff while hoping your target or wind down change.
Sorry pal I know you mean good but sorry to say we can't see a dam thing when you show the unit
