Kestrel with Applied Ballistics -- For AIRGUNS?

[JungleShooter]

So far I've been using Strelok Pro to do my ballistic calculations when shooting my AIRGUNS.

Now, I'm looking to buy a used Kestrel — and I'm wondering if I should get one with the Applied Ballistics. However, before plunking down the extra cash I need to know:
Will the Applied Ballistics in the Kestrel give me what Strelok Pro has been giving me — for my AIRGUN shooting? ?

Specifically I'm looking for the following functions:
(1) Does AB calculate trajectories down to 10 yards?


(2) Does AB calculate trajectories for projectiles with velocities down to 300fps, weighing 7 grain?


(3) Does AB allow me to enter custom BCs — coded to different velocities?
Example: 500fps = BC 0.020
700fps = BC 0.025
900fps = BC 0.034


(4) Does AB allow me to enter a custom drag model?


(5) Does AB give me at least 10 user-defined "rifles" — where I can define the scope—rifle — and combine that with c. 20 user-defined "cartridges" each with its own muzzle velocities and BCs?


Thanks for your help! ?

Will the Applied Ballistics in the Kestrel give me what Strelok Pro has been giving me — for my AIRGUN shooting? ?

No, down to 25 yds


(2) Does AB calculate trajectories for projectiles with velocities down to 300fps, weighing 7 grain?

You can enter manual bullet data with these values


(3) Does AB allow me to enter custom BCs — coded to different velocities?
Example: 500fps = BC 0.020
700fps = BC 0.025
900fps = BC 0.034

No there is only one BC per profile. You would need to build a profile for each MV.


(4) Does AB allow me to enter a custom drag model?

If you had an Elite model, you could do drop scale factor to improve the sub sonic model but it would not be a custom curve.


(5) Does AB give me at least 10 user-defined "rifles" — where I can define the scope—rifle — and combine that with c. 20 user-defined "cartridges" each with its own muzzle velocities and BCs?

You can build as many profiles as needed, but only transfer 3 or 30 to the Kestrel, depending on if it is a 5700 or an Elite model.

Have you tried ChairGun?

 

[JungleShooter]

? Van Joe,
yupp, I have tried ChairGun.
The PC version is great, there is nothing like it out there for airguns.

The mobile version is much simpler and by far not as practical as it could be: Strelok Pro is way better on all but two counts.

But the question was to ditch all of these and replace them with AB on Kestrel.... ?



? So, thanks to you Kestrel representative, you were super quick in responding, and your response was super detailed = and that I find super helpful. ??????

I'm oficially impressed by Kestrel — just seeing the quality of your response. WOW! ?
—> And that helps me to understand and justify the somewhat high prices of Kestrel products.... ?

I will be looking for a Kestrel 4500 or 5500 Bluetooth, without AB.

THANKS! SH is a great forum. ??
