Kestrel 5700 elite V1.23 applying waaay too much spin drift?

[SAKOTRG42A1]

Solution was provided the last hour through Kestrel Support in fastest time I have ever seen for bug fixing of firmware and deploying to the public. Root cause was a problem with HW-Version 14.

The fixed 1.37 firmware is online and while first connection the device prompted directly for the update.
A new Version of the KLB app with the fixed 1.37 FW has just been released to the app stores (IOS will take some time because of the review procedure).

Great work!
Thanks for your assistance.

I have a new kestrel elite with the 1.37 firmware and the latest kestrel link ballistics IOS version 1.235.I still can't change bullet length when auto is turned off while using CDMs but I can change it if I use a G-7.Anyone know why the BLs are so off or if you change the BL in a CDM does this some how mess with the internals of the drag that affects BC. Just wondering if AB set the BLs wrong on purpose to make the drag model work out.If there is a IOS update for the app coming soon I will patiently wait.

Just wanted to say thank thank you to the Kestrel team for helping me out on the phone and the quick response here on the Hide.This is what I know now 1.you can't change the BL in the app or the Kestrel if you are using CDMs 2.You can change BL if you are using a G-7 or G-1 3.as a result of the bug my CDM BL was set at 139 thou shorter then actual which would greatly effect my SD.But once I deleted the profile and started over using the CDM the BL was corrected.Thank you so much Kestrel for helping me figure this out.

Makes me feel a lot better spending 700 bucks on a Kestrel Elite last week knowing they have such good customer service.

@longgunJR, this was the bullet length issue I mentioned.
1.37 seems to have fixed it. My CDM curve seems to match to .01mil to what’s been very good to me in 4DOF.

I'm going back to the range this Saturday, I'll update and test again
