Calypso - Quantum - kestrel - HUD Bluetooth Hokey Pokey

It is actually pretty complex to get something like this working on a phone. It's not as easy as a day of coding.
Coming from the IT world, I fully understand it's not a super easy process. But as an end user, having the same capabilities on the phone as exists on the Garmin is highly desirable. Having all of the devices at once is a super nice to have, but having at the very least the weather/kestrel/calypso along with whatever range finder connected at the same time is almost mandatory.

US optics FDN

There are other threads on the topic, with a couple of loud people who like to dog on the brand based on experiences two business iterations ago with products that were discontinued nearly a decade ago or more.

We don't need to open another thread where I duke it out with the same person on the same issues. Here's some links to existing threads.



I love my FDN 25x.

That is exactly how it SHOULD work. I mean you can connect an LRF and a Kestrel to a Garmin device at the same time. There is literally zero reason you shouldn’t be able to do the same thing on a phone.

As I said, I love AB Q, but there are a number of very simple things that you can’t do. Quick example is you can’t rename a device in the app. But since you can only have one freaking thing connected at once, I guess it ultimately doesn’t matter.

AB Quantum 3.4.4 Vector X, Max Ord, Max Ord Range, Trace & Dialed Elevation Tool.

Already tried it and i must say its perfect. Only minor gripe is with one accidental “swipe”. you can delete all custom groups or targets and reverts to default. This is not cool as sometimes during matches one forgets to shut down screen on phone and things happen.
They should only delete if you hit the trash can button.

WARNING on Freedom Munitions .308Win 168gr A-Max

A solid reminder to stick to buying and using Hornady A-Max ammo.

Yes because Frontier (Hornady) doesn’t have tons of reports of high pressure in bolt and gas guns, ELD-M’s that fragment half way to the target, and other reports of general QC issues.

Just a couple months ago I received yet another defective batch of Hornady ammo where 75% of the bullets were fucked up from their seating process and they tried to give me the run around after first agreeing to replace it by stating that there was nothing wrong with the ammo and I was just being particular when the ammo shot 5-8MOA in a gun that shoots good lots sub MOA.

Hornady isn’t total garbage and they’ll make it right if you press them, but they absolutely are not the gold standard of ammunition and components or anywhere close to it. They could do a lot better.

9mm pistol practice ammo

Alright, I've now tried all of it, nothing shoots where the Critical Duty's do for me, I think I may have found one that will be "close enough" for the SIG 124's, and the SIGs shoot really excellent, are bonded, so I don't mind them being my carry ammo at all.

And yes, I've tried hot ammo, and even sub ammo, trying to figure this out, did let me see that she's reliable, if nothing else.

I'd imagine there may be a small fitment issue with the new barrel/comp, thing is, it's odd to be able to shoot such good groups with some ammo, to then have different ammo shoot to such a drastically different POI.

If the barrel fitment was garbage I wouldn't expect good accuracy with anything, and I wouldn't expect it to be reliable, but it is as accurate as I get with a couple different rounds and is very reliable...

So it's still odd to me, but I think I've found a "good enough" combo.

I appreciate the help.
