When setting up the Kestrel app, the gun profile indicates that the zero range is in meters. Also, the single target has the zero in meters. If my range finder indicates target to be at 103 yards for zeroing, do I have to covert yards to meters before making any POA to POI adjustments? Are all Hornady 6.5 CM bullets considered 4DOF as opposed to G1 or G7? Thanks.

On the app version under input output you can choose yards or meters.
My understanding is if bullet is in libary it has been shot over doppler eliminates the need fot user input such as G1 G7. At least that is how I have used it.

The 4DOF library doesn't give you an option, you true it by adjusting the form factor. The regular bullet library will let you choose the G you want and then you true with the BC.
Thanks for the info. Still unsure. The gun profile app has Zero Range in meters and I don't see how you can change it. The single target frame shows under Gun - ZR 100 m. Just below that is Rng (m) 93. ???
I just looked, I have never used single target on the app I always just use the kestrel, not sue how you change that to yards. PM the Hornady rep on the hide and they will gt you an answer.
Page 11 indicates that you have two choices - imperial or metric, mine shows imperial. Single target still shows meters as well as the gun profile. Will contact Kestrel. Thanks for your help.
I entered all my info based on yardage. The 5700 4DOF show yardage but the kestrel indicates meters not yardage.
Yes. The screen reads Global units Global-Imperial - highlighted apply and pushed go.
You've started several threads about Kestrels, 4DOF, etc. Might I suggest if you have a question, you look at the STICKY THREADS in the Ballistic Calculator Discussion section and find the one with a title of "Hornady Kestrel 5700 Ballistic Weather Meter 4 DOF Official Support Thread " The title I've quoted is even a link that will take you directly to the conversation!
I found the answer to my question. Using the Kestrel link, once you save your gun profile, at the top of the screen directly across from the word profile, there are three little boxes. If you tap on them, you can select settings. Scroll down to distance units and you can chose meters or yards. Appreciate your help and hope that this helps out someone else with a similar question.
