    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    It started out as an Elite, so not upgraded. FW is 2.15 and Boot is 2.00. Doesn't matter which order I turn things on, the bluetooth symbol shows up on the Fire4000, the Kestrel says it is connected, but I get no communication between the 2 devices. Range doesn't update on the Kestrel, I get...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    I have a 5700 Elite, I finally got the Kestrel to pair with the Fire 4000 but it doesn't seem to actually DO anything. Even if I have a rifle profile on the Kestrel, connecting to the Fire 4000 and getting a range, I don't get any DOPE values on the Fire 4000 screen. Just the yardage, on ABE...

    New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

    I'm back to now having issues with Quantum. My Descent MK3i no longer shows up in devices and neither does the kestrel 5700x. I dug out a Foretrex and it will connect, but that's it. I've gone through removing Quantum, rebooting the devices, re-installing Quantum, doesn't change anything...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    Looking on the unit, it says SF6-B on the plug itself. Looking online, I don't see a right angle adapter for that, just a bunch of right angle plugs that are meant to be hard wired it looks like.

    Who was it that is on here from Tango? I see in the documentation that the wired remote uses an "aviation plug" but no other information. Is there a right angle adapter that we can purchase for this? From using the term aviation plug, that makes it sound like a standard connection?

    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    I bought one and I like it. There are some annoyances, but I wanted the ability to sync with AB. I was fully aware it had no onboard enviro or wind, I bought it with the expectation to use it with a kestrel. For me, the no AB on the vortex far outweighs the no enviro on the tango. I’ll...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    He explained that in the video. He is using the phone to get the weather from the internet, so it needs service to do so. If you are using the kestrel, it doesn't need the phone or phone service. You basically need the phone/app to make any changes. It is one of my biggest complaints about...

    Precision Rifle Gear Looking for a do it all rangefinder/ballistics

    I haven’t seen the Gen 2 Kilos but the VectorX is amazing for sure.

    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    Thank you Doc, is there any forecast of when this device will be included/onboarded into Quantum? Not having to re-create all of my rifle profiles will be rather nice.

    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    If I HAVE to have Bluetooth I would rather it be as limited as possible. Since I have to have Bluetooth to get environmental onto the device, I’d rather not have a second connection to worry about with the remote. But as I said above, I’m torn on it as the length of the wire is annoying and...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tango Innovations FIRE4000 WMLRF Initial Impressions

    I’m very torn on the cable. I like not having yet another Bluetooth connection to deal with but the extra length of the cable is proving annoying. The on board enviros is also split for me. I don’t mind having the kestrel but I do mind having to have the phone too. I couldn’t get the kestrel...

    new gun safe

    Those numbers are for rifles without scopes or bolt handles. If you use a shotguns and/or lever actions, with no optics or lights attached, you can get close to the advertised number.

    Tech Help - Kestrel 5700x and AB Quantum

    Yep, I bought wholly into the AB ecosystem because I like it far more than 4DOF. But as more things stop/aren't being supported by the new Quantum, it's harder and harder to want to pay that premium for Elite.

    Tech Help - Kestrel 5700x and AB Quantum

    That is highly disappointing for sure, considering that it worked under synapse. I would imagine that could be fixed by a firmware update from victronix, but they don't seem to be interested in doing anything with the X anymore. Force everyone over to the Vector binos it seems. Wish I would...

    Tech Help - Kestrel 5700x and AB Quantum

    Correct, none of the Vectronix line is supported in Quantum yet, including the VectorX. It is "on the roadmap" from the last time I asked about this. Once your firmware is updated on the Kestrel, it should show up in Quantum. Then you can push your rifle profiles down to it. The online...

    RRS TFCT 14L w Anvil 30 too heavy for backpack backcountry hunting?

    That is asking which of three options you want. 1) With no clamp at all, just a bare top with no real way to mount anything other than one of their, RRS, clamps or something that has the ARMS 17 hole pattern. So it just has two holes the top. This would be used if you already have a clamp...

    Ruger RXM - Magpul & Ruger make a Glock 19 clone

    For the money, it is fantastic. Full 3rd gen glock top end with a better mounting system than the MOS. I REALLY like the modularity concept. If, and only if, Magpul really does release all of the things they say they are going to, such as the full sized frames. To get someone started with...

    Issues connecting Garmin Tactix 7 Pro Ballistics to AB Quantum

    If you are syncing with Garmin online it should all be in the cloud. All of my stuff was. And it did work for me. I now have Quantum working with my watch and have AB showing up and syncing the rifle profiles to my watch.
