I havent heard from them and I want to use it monday so I used my compressed air and spun it for a while and now it not sticking anymore. Whether its accurate or not remains to be seen and I may have to order a new impeller for a brand new Kestrel so to me it really doesnt say anything about their quality.

I am fairly certain they would replace your impeller under warranty. Have you called in? Talk to Joe, he will square you away.
I did the air compressor deal and went to the range. A friend had a windmeter too so we compared. There was about a 1 lb difference in wind speed but his was an Amazon bargain unit so it may have been his that was off. I used the air compressor to blow through it for about a minute or two and it doesnt stick anymore and does that waddling motion if the wind isnt blowing or very light.

I just got on here to see if what I was experiencing was normal or what? I just bought it and hate dealing with warranties. Im going to the range Monday and see how it does when I get all my dope programmed in thru LINK. If it doesnt give me the correct scope adjustments I will order one rather than deal with warranties.
It is not normal, but Kestrel will hook you up for sure. Those things pop right out, and are meant to be field replaceable. I actually keep a spare just because.
I set the same values of the MV-temp table. AB quantum correctly calculates MV - 828 m/s, but Kestrel for some reason gives significantly lower than AB quantum - 818 m/s at a temperature of +7 C. Could you please explain that ?
