Sig Sauer® and Kestrel®/Garmin®

[DocUSMCRetired]

I just wanted to share some great news with you. You can now connect your Sig Sauer BDX devices which feature ABE (Applied Ballistics® External) to a Kestrel® Elite or Garmin® Foretrex® 701. I wanted to share the following instructional videos which demonstrate this and have included them below.





As a side note, when you connect a BDX device to an AB Elite device you gain the ability to use Custom Drag Models(Radar Data) and to have firing solutions to 2 miles and beyond. The BDX device will transfer both the range and the inclination (Vertical Angle) to the AB Elite device which will then use its own onboard atmospherics sensors and engine to calculate the firing solution. Giving users an affordable option that is reliable beyond a mile. For an added advantage this system can be paired with a Sig Sauer BDX Scope and the firing solution can be fed directly to the reticle in the scope.

If you have any questions please let me know.

The farming option looks cool, but does it take wind into account?

Yes, both the AB Ultralite and AB Elite solvers take wind into account.

How is the wind hold displayed in the reticle?

How is the wind hold displayed in the reticle?

It lights up a dot on the horizontal stadia showing where to hold for wind, just as it does on the vertical for elevation.
