Description

The Kestrel 4500A Series applied ballistics meter combines sophisticated environmental sensing with long-range shooting ballistics information in one hand-held device. The built in Applied Ballistics software provides all of the following: "Litz" library of G1 and G7 referenced Ballistic Coefficients (BC's); custom drag curve modeling, helpful in engaging targets beyond the supersonic range of the bullet; and ballistic calibration (truing) feature that allows you to "train" the solver based on actual bullet impact.

The Applied Ballistics model has a different truing application from the Horus version with drop scale factor, it has bullet length as a standard gun input (used to calculate spin drift), offers ± angle input, has the ability to use G1 or G7 ballistic coefficients (BC) and comes pre-loaded with 7 custom drag profiles.

The Applied Ballistics® option features a calculator which provides accurate elevation and windage targeting solutions for long range rifle shooting. Shooters have everything they need to make a much more precise trajectory calculation in a compact and durable Kestrel meter design.

Available with Bluetooth® Data Transfer which is recommended for Full Gun and Bullet Profile Customization and Backup. Both real-time and logged data can be transferred wirelessly and automatically to a laptop or PDA, making a Kestrel Shooter's Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics and Bluetooth® technology the perfect tool for virtually any job that requires quick and reliable data.

All Kestrel instruments are made in the USA and are backed with a Five-Year Warranty.
