    Scientific differences between Applied Ballistics and Horus Kestrel.

    Listen to Bryan - he's got research time in the field - I've had conversations with him and he's a also a skilled mathematician. The other guy's just flapping his gums.

    Bummer about Kestrel-Applied Ballistics

    Best to do your zero work in calm conditions. Not to sound tongue-in-cheek but I shoot early for calibration work as it's the calmest part of the day. Then I play with the wind afterward Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Bummer about Kestrel-Applied Ballistics

    Shot Angle w/Baro compensation One other question, does the AB application have the ability to compensate for the barometric difference during high angle shots? i.e. I may have 29.92 inhg pressure at my rifle, but where the bullet will hit the pressure could be 29.62 inhg. I know we can't...

    Bummer about Kestrel-Applied Ballistics

    Yup, Any helicopter person will know about this, gyroscopic momentum causes a movement 90 degrees to the force acting upon the gyroscope. So the +.1 or -.1 will depend on both the wind direction and the bullet rotation direction (RH or LH). Jay

    Reticle Eyepiece for Swaro Spotting Scopes.

    Reticle Eyepiece for Swaro Spotting Scopes. Well I've gone shooting with it, and the MOA markings line up with my targets that have 1" squares when I was shooting at 100 and 470 yards. The only thing I miss was the ability to zoom in once in a while, I would have to change to the higher mag...

    Advanced Marksmanship Think I've run into something interesting; shooting between 2 mountains

    I shoot in the mountains all the time - and wind is the true challenge. You watch the tree tops all along the way, but that doesn't always tell you whats going on between you and the target. Rule of thumb, mornings are calmer than afternoons. Not sure what the secret is to getting a handle on it...

    Reticle Eyepiece for Swaro Spotting Scopes.

    I picked up the eyepiece. It doesn't quite turn all the way in to click lock like the Swarovski eyepiece. Loos like its a tad longer in the barrel, I'll have to trim it somewhat. Jay Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Scientific differences between Applied Ballistics and Horus Kestrel.

    That's interesting. Does this lead to a step in the curve? I imagine not (obvious answer) I wonder what your doing to smooth the curve at the piece boundaries. Jay

    Reticle Eyepiece for Swaro Spotting Scopes.

    Man, you just saved my Swarovski!, I was ready to dump it in favor of a spotter I can use to call corrections.

    Horus Ballistic Kestral

    Re: Horus Ballistic Kestral I just shot out to 1970 yards with one yesterday. I really like the package and would recommend it over conventional kits. Though I'm still trying to figure out the nuances of it to get the most from the Horus side of it. It takes a bit to configure, but once you...
