I am confused. You said that the number in the upper right is the distance the round goes transonic and you mention 1525 meters. However the Kestril shows 1068 meters. What am I missing?
Her example numbers, as stated / spoken, referencing the specific rifle she was shown with, were completely different from the close-up visual aid they were showing in the cut-in scenes. That's all. Go off her example and it adds up.
Great vid, well done. If possible, would you mind attaching a link to the chart you referenced at the end of the video. Or let me know what book it is in? Thank you! (did search your site, can't find it)
Kestrel - A suggestion. When you are trying to explain how something works, just act like you actually had to make the adjustment and walk people through the last parts of the process vs. just saying "oh, I didn't need to do that anyway..." and then stop showing the viewers how to use the tool. It is literally like saying, "Ok, here's how you press the buttons to measure the wind with a kestrel" and then saying "Oh nevermind, there's no wind today.....but it's SUPER important to measure the wind"
Very straight forward, as a new owner, to much info in to short time, but on point. I hope I will get that all in some time. Didn´t just understand when to do what with the wind and environment, and when to do it again. Just one dumb question: Do I have to calibrate the compass every time I shoot, or am I doing it once and it is done for all time?
No dumb questions here. You do not have to calibrate it every time you shoot. You should occasionally recalibrate it though such as if you drastically change locations or every few weeks. If your Kestrel was exposed to a magnetic force, you should recalibrate it. You also need to recalibate it after changing the battery or updating the firmware. -Kestrel Ballistics team
@@KestrelBallistics Thanks for the answer. May I ask one more question? I have calibratetd "Environment" through rotating the Kestrel with the strap and set it on "live". I have tagged the shooting direction by holding it vertical towards the target. What am I doing now with the wind? I can tag it, like the direction, I understand that, but can I measure it "live" too somehow? And why (when "Environment" is set "live") don´t the measurements change? Cheers, Ouw.
You need to wind capture as that is not part of the "environment" measurements. Highlight Wind on the menu and point the back of the Kestrel into the prevailing wind. Press the red button to start a capture. Press the red button again to stop the capture. The Kestrel will populate wind direction, average wind speed (W1) and max wind gust (W2). The capture can last as long as you want. Alternatively if you have the weather vane, you can start the capture (red button) and let it go and you will get constant "live" updates of the wind. The environment should be changing to temperature, humidity and pressure changes when set to live. It might not change much if you reached current equilibrium conditions though.
Love the DSF for trans and beyond. If ones optic had error or a rifle system with axial imperfections, can you use the DSF in the supersonic region to correct for the error? Thank you, I really enjoy your videos.
Hi Thanks for watching our videos! To answer your question- you cannot use the DSF in the supersonic region. To compensate for a known error with the scope, you can use the zero height (ZH) and zero offset (ZO). Enter these values based on the errors shown in your zero (at 100 yards) and this will propagate throughout the rest of the supersonic region. The Kestrel Team.
Hello Just noticed during a channel audit that we left this unanswered. Apologies and hope this helps. DSF is only for transonic and subsonic you should use CAL MV in the supersonic region to help. We are going to implement a Scope Correction Factor in a future firmware update that would also help but we don't have a timetable for that at the moment. Regards - The Kestrel Team
i was out today with my 338 shooting 1000 yards kestrel said 7.28 mill but that was to high 6.8 mill put me on target do i need to adjust my bc? i was taking my mv as i was shooting with my magnetospeed v3
It depends on whether you are in the supersonic region or transonic region at 1000 yards with that gun. If you go into the Ballistics menu on the Kestrel, you can look at the Rtrans number to know when the bullet gets to transonic. If the bullet is shorter than that range, you need to do a CAL MV (even though you measured it with the Magnetospeed). If the bullet is past that range, then you would do a CAL DSF point. - Kestrel Team
great vid, MV was pretty straight forward but i often wondered about DSF and this answered all my questions.
I almost decided on not getting one cause i thought it would be to much of a hassle to learn, but these video's help change my mind thank you.
Thank you! Just got my Kestrel and learning all the different ways to true my data is overwhelming- this helps
Great to hear!
I am confused. You said that the number in the upper right is the distance the round goes transonic and you mention 1525 meters. However the Kestril shows 1068 meters. What am I missing?
Ditto. And the prior video for Cal MV had different readings on verbal, graph and display. Which are correct? The 15% math didn't work out.
Yea same I'm totally lost she says 1525 where did she get that value from when the Kestrel showed 1068 m in the top right corner??
Her example numbers, as stated / spoken, referencing the specific rifle she was shown with, were completely different from the close-up visual aid they were showing in the cut-in scenes. That's all. Go off her example and it adds up.
This video was helpful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Really nice , this explains a lot.

Where's the rest of the video about calibrating?
So excited to get my kestrel 5700 elite. It’s been engraved and is shipping. Can’t wait to get lost in all the features

Is there any benefit to CAL DSF on a varmint rifle that is never used beyond the transonic range?
There wouldn't be any need to use Cal DSF if you don't shoot into or beyond transonic.
Very straight forward, as a new owner, to much info in to short time, but on point.
I hope I will get that all in some time.
