Fortrex 701 Programming help

[Jigstick]

Wife got me one for Xmas. Been playing around with it for a few hours now. Is there a way to program in all my handload / MV / environmental date for a particular gun / load on my desk top...and then upload into the device?

for example

300wsm
168 Berger hunting VLD
MV 3160
Barrel length 24in
Zero environmental data
Min range
Max range
Target size
Etc

is there a way to build my own library for multiple rifles and multiple load recipes?

This seems very cumbersome to do on the device itself

The .pro files can be made with the AB loader app, it will ask what device you are connecting chose the 701.

So I use kestrel software to make the file which can be uploaded into a Garmin device?

Is AB software, good luck finding it on AB's site though.

When you start it up it shows the Garmin 701, Kestrel 4500 and Kestrel 5700 and asks you to choose your device.

Not on AB site but Kestrels. Same product. Here’s the link. This is the best method to load the foretrex and kestrel. It’s the first link under downloads.
