Model: 0845AOLV
Capable of monitoring a long list of environmental factors, this meter is famous for measuring wind direction, crosswind, headwind/tailwind. It features a built-in applied ballistics solver and digital compass.
The Kestrel 4500A Series Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics has been discontinued, it has been replaced by the Kestrel Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics
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.
