Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics and LiNK
Video | What’s Included | Specs | Pictures | Restrictions
The Kestrel 5700 Elite is a compact weather meter and ballistic calculator all in one. The 5700 can store up to 30 gun profiles that can be easily built on the Kestrel app and transferred to the unit via LiNK Bluetooth connectivity. Once you have all your metrics input, the 5700 will build out a dope card based on your setup and current environmentals, which can be taken a step further by using the Kestrel to “true” your rifle and further hone in your muzzle velocity and ranging data. The Kestrel 5700 is also compatible with popular LRFs and other devices like the Wilcox RAPTAR-S, Envision MARS, and the Kestrel HUD.
This device is quite complicated and has tons of functionality, so we’d definitely recommend using Kestrel’s extensive training resources and manuals. You can find those HERE.
