15 Top Rated Optics – Sighting In

welcome to amateur redneck workshop I’m Harold. And we’re back to another firearms accessory review. This came to me a little over a week ago from. It was in a white FedEx package from Shenzhen China. Isit on the invoice sample. And it’s from mr Lee well. Ididn’t know what the heck. You know well one of the items in the bag on the walk was but the ones concerned in. This review I didn’t know. What the heck because I’d never seen. One before they had. What it turned out to be was a quad shooting rest for a. You know for your rifle. And I’m going to show. This stuff what I mean about being confused there’s a screenshot of the twelve. Or shooting wrist bags. Now then this you’ll see. Iwas confused this out of the package. Ilooked at here’s a bag with a little velcro closure. Ican’t get anything in nervous my fingers well little did. You turn it upside down. That it’s a front rest for your rifle. If you’ve got it filled up with. Some sort of substance the other little bag. That was in there got the velcro closure. You turn it upside down. It shows a different purpose okay.

This is the right way like. This, but I was kind of confused nice not sad never saw a sandbag before. Because I’ve got a sand bag for the rear of my rifle. Igot back I wanted to shoot Pinterest. II just for the front of. Is using the bipod so anyway. Ididn’t recognize it took them out of the banks so. Isit around here for a week wondering you know. Ididn’t have any email address that’s. You know referred to mr Lee let. Me change the camera a little here so y’all are not watching my neighborhood anyway. Ididn’t have any email address for mr Lee. Because Alice Lloyd is the. One I’ve been talking to there but anyway. Iwondered what the heck is. Even took a picture. And sent it to Randy Richard to see. What he thought about. He didn’t do’t know. What it was either so it’s good to finally discover. What this stuff is after I’d say yesterday Alice wrote. Me a note no was I ever gonna do a review on her merchandise. Ihad attacked pictures of.

This merchandise on the bottom the email said is. This yours yes okay. And also what the heck is. It well I’m not an expert on sandbags like. Isay I’ve got I bought. Several years ago and never thought about them since didn’t think about. Something you can refill. You looked online about. You can get sandbags made of fabric. You get sandbags made out of leather. You can get sandbags. That are empty further self. You can get sandbags. That you’re full of plastic beads. You can get sandbags full of sand there’s a real variety of sandbags out there. Ihad never paid any attention to so. What would these need is a filler. Something to go inside them so. II went out and looking for something to fill them up with.

Ifound three different choices. Ilooked at this other guy’s video. He filled them up with rice so let. Me move the surrounding camera’ll take a look here. All right on the right there we’ve got Uncle Ben’s rice twelve pounds of. That costed me eight dollars. And forty-eight cents. And Sam’s samples the best price. Icould get I’m pretty sure I’m gonna put my glasses on. And read double check. That yes rice eight dollars. And forty-eight cents for the bag. And then some pinto beans. You could say a sandbags kind of like a bean bag so why would. You put beans in the bean bag. And so the beans were seven dollars. And fifty-eight cents. And then I thought. Iwonder I can cut the price. Idon’t have any sand in my backyard. This is South Texas. All the way got some black gumbo.

This time of the year. It was kind of like digging up concrete definitely not good for filling sandbags so. Iwent to home that spot. They have this vigor o P pebbles. Idon’t think that’s probably. Idon’t know fifty more pounds. You know it made. Me pucker up a bit I loaded. And let’s see how much. That little bugger cost I’ve little boogers four dollars. And forty-eight cents. And four eighty-five extra tax alright so. You guys you’re probably wondering what the heck after tax in Europe. They had tax into the price of. Whatever it is unlike here. They save the tax for your surprise. You get to the register it’s a lot harder here. Because every town and jurisdiction has got a different tax so. You know it’s hard to compute.

It ahead of time anyway. Idecide if what am. Igoing to put in this sand bag. Idon’t have any sand. Igot rice they got pinto beans. Igot peat pebbles well the last sandbag. Ibought probably weighs about 15 pounds. And it’s for the back end of the rifle not as anywhere near as big as 1/4 front. It was nice and heavy. You know going to add stability to my shooting position so. What we’re going to do here. Ithink is I’m not gonna put the beans in there. Although I think the twelve pounds of beans would fill up. Both bags I think the twelve pounds of rice would fill up. Both legs but I’m going to use the pea thesis. Because they’re a lot heavier, so we’ll we’ll adjourn to the bag filling session. All right that bag up there on. That stool I can lift. If the pebble strain downwards did. Imention that stuff’s heavy Oh that’ll make. You notice that you’re getting old not. That I’m really that old virtual youth of 73.

This little piece here’s to tuck the velcro under. All right after you’ve put. All your ballast in the bag. Whatever you didn’t spill on the floor. That is then let’s go ahead. And let’s close and show. It looks turning over. You had run rest and I’m gonna fill the backrest up just like. That but I’m not gonna have. You watch all right, so we’ve got the your stop yeah. Me quite a while shaking over no pebbles down into. That whole side but. Ifinally got them full. You want to see it with a rifle in. It well we’re gonna do. That in just a minute. You guys were sleeping I swept up. All the pebbles and got to hoping. You know of pebbles will wet. They were river rocks. Iwas hoping they didn’t count from. One rivers it has flesh-eating bacteria oh wow yeah anyway for those of. You who are gun safety experts.

This is a Marlin 60. This right here is the magazine. You can see there are no cartridges in the magazine. Or in the gun so you gotta set. It over here this. One for sale by the way. You want although I hate to do. Some innocent person but there. You are a genuine stainless steel. Than sixty that’s it up you’re going to use. It for shooting let. Me go into the front bag rear bag going to the stock so that’s that’s the whole rundown on. Iguess the pros of. It is its light you can buy a whole set real cheap. Even get free shipping I don’t know. Ididn’t look for that part. Iguess it’s depends on. Whether you’re Amazon Prime member. Or not but there you are because of.

You got to find something to fill them up with but your clothes are like. You get a front end back for half. What I take through my back sand bag. Ihad previously all right mix down below appreciate. You guys watching well that’s. All folks y’all try to subscribe. If you’re not already a subscriber leave a comment. Something to say and above. All remember keep on keepin on by now.

Ihave a line of products. That is definitely a must-have the bulls bag line of shooting res injury there are a lot of shooting rest systems out there. What makes Bulls bag the best. All starts in the design. This is a one bag system. You can easily take with. You out to the shooting-range. Or to the field another great plus is. You don’t have to worry about carrying around heavy bags of lead. You use a shooting bag. Now has a low center of gravity. And a wide footprint which will increase your surface contact. And stability now the plus of the bags is doesn’t create pressure points on. It like other shooting rest deal why our pressure points so bad well traditional toe. And heal configuration of shooting rest. Either in like a sand bag. Or metal rest creates two pressure points on the rifle. This will change your point of impact from the range out to the field well. It sounds like the Bulls bag will accurately help. You side in your rifle. Now does it reduce the recoil of your gun that’s a good question but no shooting risk reduces a recoil of the gun the bulls bag reduces the felt recoil of the firearm. And also absorbs harmonic vibrations from the firearm. That Mel arrests actually maximize with the Bulls bag. You can reduce the felt recoil without risking damaging your firearm.

Or sacrificing accuracy I’m guessing. That the vibration of your firearm is going to alter your shot placement you’re exactly right. And bulls bag on like. Any other shooting res increases your accuracy. And repeatability of accurate shots. What models does the Bulls. That come in the first. Ihave here is the field shooting ransom model. This is a 9 inch and also comes in two 10 inch. You can get it in camouflage like. Ihave here or comes in black. And khaki top of that tough tech material. You can also get it in suede. This field model looks a little shorter. This next bag you have your right Katie. This is the bench shooting wrist. And it’s 15 inches long. And it’s perfect for somebody. That does a lot of shooting out on the range it’ll be the last baguette to ever buy.

Now the X design of the bulls bag securely grips a firearm. More foreign gripping than. Any other shooting rest out there. What models does the bench shooting rest come in well like the field shooting rest the bench risk comes in. You know camouflage black. And khaki they also get a black. And yellow model it has a tough tech tops. And the suede top as well. That looks like the perfect bag for anyone who shoots off a bench. What other models does bulls bag offer Bulls bag also offers a Pro Series model. This is perfect for anybody. You know shoots rifles with high-capacity magazines. Or a pistol grip if you’re looking for an all-in-one shooting rest system look no further. Than the new x7 there’s actually seven shooting bags in. You can put this in a variety of configurations like.

We have with the high pro series. And spread out for a lower shooting rest. You also make into a great pistol rest — well bulls bag offers a great variety of shooting bags. They come prefilled. You need to film yourself well. You can buy them either way by the advantage of buying a prefilled is. They come out of the box ready to go. You don’t have to mess with. You know filling them up. Now bulls bag offers 100% lifetime guarantee against. Any manufacturer defects well. You know I really like. When a company stands behind their product.

Everyone one today I’m going to be reviewing the matrix shooting rest which is made by cod well really truly amazing shooting rest on. Iactually like it a lot for the money. You can’t go wrong one of the first things. Iwant to start off reviewing is the adjust ability as. You can see you have adjustments here. This is for depending on if. You have a long or a short rifle. You can pull this out that’s. You have a long rifle. You need more space. You could just put it in their personally I’d like to keep. It out in the middle. This works for what I have. And then to tighten. It you’re just going to come in here you’ve got. These little knobs here. That takes care of that the next adjustment. Iwant to focus on is the up. And down I’ve never actually seen. Anything so smooth it’s. One of those things. Where you’d have to actually see. You know feel it to believe. It but literally the slightest touch just moves. It which is good if you’re trying to really get. Some precision shooting in. It will let it very easily gets.

And down as you can see it’s also got a really far range of motion three. And a half inches which. Icould say is if you’re shooting sure. It works for both short reigns. And our long range even at short range at 50 yards. That movement could literally have. You go from aiming at the ground to well above the target at ranges farther. That it’s even better. Even have more range. And then this adjusted to. You want you do is tighten. And you’re good that’s not going anywhere. Another feature that’s really good about. This rest is this part right over here is removable not going to lie it’s a little tricky to get. This actually know it’s not too bad so.

You may be asking what is the purpose of. That is for this works perfectly with an AR style rifle. You know typically people with ar-15s have trouble on a wrestler on a lot of rest because of the fact of the extended magazine. You will not have any problems um. Ihave my uncle use his ar-15 on. It worked otally fine as. You can see it goes down pretty deep in there so for you guys. That have ARS you’re actually going to love. This rest the next thing I want to focus on is 13s it’s pretty sturdy. You can see non pressing on. And not really a lot of movement seen with the rifle sitting there very nicely without a lot of movement overall it’s really good. Ihave her complaints of people with the heavy Magnum rifles I’m saying.

It kind of moves a bit. You know I’ve shot a couple high-powered rifles off. It in the 308 39 6 range. It seemed to do fine with. You want to step up. And maybe go to like a 300 Win Mag. Something like you know. You could always put. You know put some weight in here but. Ithink you’ll be fine with almost just about. Any basic rifle you know again. What those more powerful ones. You will be fine all on there’s. Nothing I really have. Nothing bad to say about. You could pick these up I’ve seen them as low as like $4000. Ibelieve from Amazon. You can a lot of times find them. And like Dick’s Sporting Goods. Or Bass Pro Shops you’ll normally pick them up for about between 50. And 60 dollars I could say in my opinion is. This thing a 5 stars 5 out of 5. Iwould definitely recommend. Whether you’re a first-time shooter. Or intermediate you’re definitely going to enjoy. This it’s got a lot of great features as.

You can see and it’s really put together well alright it’s easy to transport so that’s really. What I got to say about. It maybe in future I’ll do a video of myself actually shooting off. You can see what it’s like. Ido want to thank you for watching everyone.

This is a Cabala’s their target. And for about three days shot a fair bit seed self-healing we have. One peekaboo through their shooting 355 green arrows. And a 70 pound bow it stops in pretty well kids love. It dogs loves hanging out with. It looks fairly realistic been fun for the backyard the body heals up quite well it’s been hit a couple of times. And the arrows are too bad to pull out. If you’ve got some Lube on them. If they’re dry carbons. It can be a little bit hard to get out see I’m getting these out on camera. Most too much effort my little bad little target kinda makes things a bit. More fun in it doesn’t. It alright I’ll see. It holds up the next. Few weeks being shot a fair but it’s a replaceable vital shoot from. Both sides even comes with pegs.

Hey guys today I’m going to be going or a archery target it’s good for broad heads as well as field points it’s made by cabelas we’re always seeing it. This guy right here. It is the Cabala’s elite stop target okay self-healing you can see. These actually we’re done nowtell week ago. They closed up quite a bit. You can see in the center there those are. Some broad heads basically gonna be shooting some arrows into. Ishoot a bear anarchy. And just give you an idea got my little pamphlet here forgot the stats of. It the IBL speed is 340 feet per second. It as a draw length of 31 inches. Ibelieve it’s maxed out so. Ibelieve that’s 31. And the draw weight is a 70 pounds, so I’ll take. Some shots you can see the penetration I’ll do the broad heads as well as the field points. And then I’ll pull them out. Some people are saying their having difficulties the trick is you’ve got to do a quick jerk. And then pull it out straight pull. It up crooked it’s not coming out soI’ll show. That maybe that’ll help people who are having troubles right just.

Some extra info for you. Ijust measured I’m actually only going to be shooting from about 13 feet away so. You know this targets going to be taking these arrows. You know pretty hard so. She give you a really good idea of the stopping power. And fuel point and broad head just so. You know this is the slick trick Frizz trick too alright so it’s a fixed broad head. And it’s got its got a pretty big cutting diameter. Ibelieve it’s an inch. And a quarter could be wrong around there. Though alright and let’s shoot. All right here we go so. One here is fuel point. This is a broad head I’m just going to turn. This around so you can see no penetration okay.

These are very much in there so. Now we’re going to pull them out generally. What I’ve done is you will need an arrow puller. Or a piece of rubber I’ve got a glove with a rubber ish palm on. It I’ve had success doing it a couple ways grab. It near the base take. This arm put it against there for a leverage. You can pull that way. Or the easiest way guys it’s not. That hard put it on the ground ok. One of these is a broad head make sure. You got your shoes on through my boots on. This is a field point quick jerk that’s. And then it comes out easy. That quick jerk is essential here’s a broad head click jerk make sure. They come out straight boom super easy with. This target I did want to actually say. More think it actually does have kind of cosmetic flaw to. It depends on up pick yard guess. It matters I noticed. Any of these targets are on the shelves as well as. They have one give a crossbow series as well. All of them have this prob about eight of those in the shelves.

This right there I believe. They inject it into a mold. Something it’s not Hollow yeah just so you’re aware so. You don’t think yours might be the only. One with all have it kind of sucks but as. It targets can get chewed up hopefully. That helps you guys great target says on the site. That it’s made with by Reinhardt. Or with the same material as a Reinhardt target. You know these are a hundred twenty bucks so that’s in Canada so it’s a lot cheaper. And yeah give it a shot. Ireally like I just give. That quick jerk and pull. Most straight and you’ll be good thanks.

Hey there Sam Millard here from Panhandle precision comm. This is going to be a field review of kestrels new 5700 sportsmen. You are familiar with the kestrel line of meters. They are pretty much the gold standard of environmental meters. They read things environmental conditions. They have to do with the weather. Ilike barometric pressure temperature humidity heat index things like. That from a long-range shooting standpoint we’ve been using them for years to come up with conditions. We have to enter into our ballistic computers come up with a firing solution namely air density affects the drag on the bullet on sway to the target the other thing we’ve been using Kestrel meters for it is to read the wind. They have a built-in impeller here on top. That will give us an accurate wind speed. We can input into our ballistic calculators ok the thing. That sets the Kestrel sportsman apart from a standard weather meter is the fact. It has a built in ballistics solver in. If you’re using a meter before an ax ballistic solver. You would normally get your conditions off the meter. And then you would input them. It separately into a ballistic solvent with the Kestrel sportsman it’s. All built in and because of. That it’s automatically feeding those inputs to the ballistic solver.

It uses the applied ballistics ballistic calculator. This ballistic calculator is very accurate. And has a capability of giving you a firing solution out to 4000 yards sportsmen will hold three gun profiles those profiles. You can build them with a g1. Or a g7 ballistic coefficient. You can do muzzle velocity chirring with. It to validate your trajectory. It pretties much has the full-blown apply ballistics solver in. It with a few exceptions is. Than enough to make a shot out to the transgenic range of the bullet. You know where the bullet starts to go subsonic as far as the hunting a long-range hunting meter. This meter does it very well. It unlike the old sportsman. It accounts for Coriolis. It accounts for aerodynamic job spin drift those kinds of things. That were missing in the first generation of sportsman.

These meters has basically done for me. Everything I used the elite meter for as far as long-range hunting this meter showed up. Ithink two days before my daughter. Iwere on our way to Wyoming to go on an antelope hunt. Iput a battery in I did a compass calibration on. All up with my preferences. Iuploaded three gun profiles from my phone onto. It turned it on turned on my Leap meter. And checked them both for a 1500 yard shot with my 300 Win Mag. They were identical. Both amused g7 ballistic coefficients. Both amused everything. That I’m concerned with. And making a long-range shot it’s a very accurate ballistic solver I’ve had no problems with doing trajectory validations with. Ithink I’ve had to adjust my velocity 20 feet per second on average across. All of my rifles all of my load Kessler meters are tough they’re designed to be out in weather like. This wet cold heat everything they are waterproof they’re shockproof they’re just ready to rock.

You don’t have to worry about hurting your meter take. It out in the elements get. It wet get it could freeze. It doesn’t really matter. This is a really tough meter. You aren’t gonna have. Any problems with now in the 5k series of 5700 series they’ve really improved the screen the resolution is much better it’s roughly double of what the 4k series were the screen the material. They use on the lens itself on the screen is incredible. Idon’t have a single scratch on. This meter after three months of hard use. Ialso have the elite which is basically the same meter. And I’ve had it for over a year. And don’t have any scratches on its pretty amazing so it’s a very durable unit it’s light it’s just a little bit over four ounces.

It runs on one double a battery. They recommend a lithium battery. Ido too it lasts for a very long time. Ithink it’s rated for 400 hours. Iwould have to agree with. It lasts for a very long time to get to the battery. You had a 4k series. You knew you had to open up the bottom. And then they had a little separator deal. That was separate the two triple A batteries. It was no fun at all on the 5 K series like on. This sportsman there’s. One latch that latch. This whole door comes off the back. One double a battery sits right here it’s very easy to maintain. And the battery lasts a very long time yeah keep mine in. This Tyr case this is just a real simple Cordura case with. Us velcro opening on top it’s very easy to get in. And out of keeps the meter clean. You know safe from any kind of scratches.

Although that screen is pretty tough. Idon’t know how it’s gonna get scratched but anyway. It protects the screen. It has a way either hook. It onto a belt somehow. You can hook this into Mali webbing it’s been a real good case. Ihave the same one for my elite. And I’ve had’t had. Any problems at all with. This is a link model. This is the kestrels new low energy bluetooth model. It will allow it to talk to a lot of different things. You can sync it up to a smart phone. And use the weather side of. This remotely so you can read weather conditions. You can record weather conditions. You can run graphs you can come up with. All kinds of data on. That side on the ballistic side.

You can slave this to a phone put. This in a remote wind vane mount. And actually have this five. You real-time wind speeds away from your shooting position. You can run everything you need to run right on your phone it’s a really good deal. Ireally like the link set up I’ve had. That elite 2 for a year it’s very handy to have. You can also use the link to upload. And download gun profiles Kestrel sportsman also gives. You the ability to shoot with a wind bracket meaning you can have two different wind speeds entered in. It with two distinct Corrections for the shot typically you’d use. You have a steady low speed wind. And then occasionally. You have a high gusting wind. Either average the two out. You can shoot in one condition. Or the other it will put. Both Corrections right on the screen for you at the same time. He has a demonstration.

Iset up a six hundred yard target with the 260 Terminator. It a wind speed from three o’clock a wind direction from three o’clock. And two wind speeds. One for three miles per hour which would be a steady wind the other. One for eight which would be a gust. Iexit out into my firing solution. It gives me two different Corrections so the wind. Ineed to dial right on. Both of them for a three mile an hour wind. Ineed a half minute of Correction for the eight mile an hour wind. Ineed a two-minute correction will show. Some screenshots later but just to go over. Some highlights of the meter. It has a built in red.

Or white back light you don’t have to order. Or the other anymore. You can toggle between. Or the other the white backlighting is incredible. You can see any condition bright sunlight. Whatever the thing I noticed about. This meter though is. That the font on the display on the numbers. And the letters everything is very easy to read. Even in direct sunlight as a bronze tint to the screen background here. It just makes those black letters pop out so you’re not gonna have. Any problem reading this okay ballistic solver includes a lot of the advanced features. We used to take long-range shots like Coriolis spin drift aerodynamic jump. It can be used for all of those things to take really long shots but it’s very easy to use to take the short ones too so. If you’re hunting say with a deer rifle like. This 260 with a 10 power scope. You can use it very well for. That for shooting out across the clear cut at five.

Or six hundred yards. All the way right up to a full ball. And long-range precision rifle to shoot out to a mile so it’s a very good meter for the guy who wants to get started but does to have. All the advanced extreme long-range stuff for your solutions. One target to work with. You can have three different gun profiles loaded onto. One time it includes a moving target profiles so. You can come up with a solution to shoot moving targets. It would be a real ideal PRS type meter as well kit will show a. Few different screens here on the Kestrel sportsman. And later on I’ll have a whole series of how-to videos. And setting it up and actually using it but for now we’ll just go through a.

Few screens this is the power button. You fire it up that’s a start up screen. And it’s gonna go right into the ballistic screen which is. Imostly use it as a ballistics solver pushing this button will let. You go from ballistics to weather. It set on wind speed. Because that’s what I use. Most for but you can scroll. And show all the other weather features on here. They have user screens. This is a user screen. You can put three different values there’s. One okay let’s break out of their go back to ballistics. This is your targeting screen. You would do all your targeting information direction of fire. And clinician degrees. You can use a cosine target speed target Direction wind speed. One wind speed — next. One is the wind you actually change your wind. You can do your different directions here.

And then you would play with your speeds next. One down is your gun. What ever gun you’re using at the time it’s set up for the 260 Terminator. This is the environment screen. This shows all the conditions. That you’re shooting in. That the meter is reading automatically. You update it by scrolling back. And forth you turn. It on to update it’s reading real live data. You turn it doesn’t move at. If you’re in the Sun. Something like it won’t heat up the sensor. This is your latitude for shooting Coriolis Corrections temperature station pressure relative humidity. This is a density altitude number spin drift is on. You can turn you want that’s. That screen next one is the ballistic screen. This shows you basically. What the shots going to be so it’s a 600 yards. We need a nine point nine seven minutes up elevation up wind direction. When speed two this is the lead for a moving target. This is a remaining velocity at 600 yards remaining energy at 600 yards.

This is the range that that bullet goes transgenic under. These conditions this is your managed guns. It shows the three different gun profiles. You can store in you can turn them on. And off so you don’t accidentally have the wrong. One turned on when you’re making a shot. Ijust leave them turned on. And that’s that screen okay let’s show. Some display options okay. You can set your display preferences. And display screen you scroll down to. It there’s display as an auto shutdown feature so. You can set it for off meaning it’ll stay on forever as long as. That the power is turned on. It automatically shuts off in 15 minutes 30 minutes 45. Or an hour this is a contrast. You can adjust this I’ve played around with. This quite a bit on the sportsman. And the elite I found tend to be perfect. This is your back light so right. Now it’s turned on to white. You can just turn it on to red. Whenever you want and back so.

What I’ll do is I’ll shut the lights off. And show what those two screens look like okay it’s set on white right. Now so we’re going to exit out. This is the targeting screen I’ll take a second for the camera to adjust for it but that’s. What the white light looks like so. Ican back out of here go back down to my display scroll to red. And that’s what the red. This is the night vision screen basically back out. What targeting screen looks like with red. You had the old four case series Sportsman I’m gonna go over a. Few differences between. And the 5700 first of. This is a completely different meter. It the screen itself is different the. You know the resolution in the screen is roughly twice. That of Dilla 4k it’s a little bit bigger it’s much easier to see the background is. That bronze tint to. That really makes this black letter stand out the material. They use is some kind of ballistic lens material.

That doesn’t scratch easily I’ve had two of these meters. One for over a year. It has no scratches on. It whatsoever the other difference is. Either get a red and a white background in the meter anytime. You want you don’t have to order. Or the other it has nine keys on the keypad. Now instead of eight they’re a little bit easier to navigate. That make a little more sense to. Me at least the processor is much faster the memory is hugely better. And bigger than the old 4k series is just a better meter. All around alright guys. That does it for my review of the Kestrel sportsman. Ithink you’ll really like. This meter you know it’s got a lot of value a lot of performance built into.

You have an environmental meter. You have wind reading capability. You have a top aligned ballistic solver. It doesn’t get much better. Iappreciate you spare the time watching my videos look for some how-to videos coming out on the Kestrel sportsman soon until then thanks for watching you.

You can’t see the wind but it’s there swaying your shots meet the Caldwell wind Wizards magic it’s the ultralight pocket compact superbly accurate wind gauge. That measures speeds in miles per hour knots. And beyond for hunters target shooters clay shooters bow hunters. Even sailors this takes out the guesswork. And adds crime precision. It also measures temperatures. And can calculate windchill factor it’s easy to read anytime with a backlit display hitting the best accuracy info is.

Hello folks thanks for tuning in. And welcome back I want to take a. Few moments to share shooting Matt for those of. That shoot and perhaps are interested in getting something like. This for yourself what you’re looking at there is the Eberly stock magic carpet. This is the non padded version. And I’ll talk about the numbers. Some specs I’ll do a mini write-up within the description section. And then we will close I’ll also roll. It up so you can see. What it looks like rolled up but. Ido have it spread out there on the ground. This is the I use so. Ican basically lay on. It with my feet back here. And then facing in that direction with the gun on a tripod. Or excuse me on a shooting bag. Or a tripod or a bipod. Whatever maybe I can be off the ground especially. If the ground is damp. One does have a PVC backing underneath which is nice as a ground barrier. It has other applications of course. You wanted to lay on the snow take a bush crafting and. You prefer this as a ground barrier over a wool blanket. Something like it does have different uses so as far as the size.

It is from the bottom here to the top that’s your looking at 90 inches the length of. It that’s — it translates over to about 228 centimeters the width of the system is 32 inches. Or 81 centimeters this is the lighter. One it’s not padded. It weighs 24 ounces. Or 680 grams it does have a PVC backing on the other side I’ll show. That in a second this is coyote Brown that’s. What you’re looking at it’s basically the color of dirt. It serves as a very nice ground barrier especially. If you’re on damp soil. Anything like that so let. This camera here you’re going to have to pardon the bump please bring a little bit closer I’ll show. You the backing on the other side. Some stitching so. You can get a better look at. And here you can see. It has a nice protection on the bottom to keep the moisture from coming through the stitching is nice no issues there you’ll get a little bit of.

This mud and stop buildup but. This is no problem you just take a damp sponge. And clean when you’re done at the range as a seam here. And then another seam on the other side. It was stitched together very nice quality. And construction no issues there. Iwanted to take a little bit of time to share. All for those folks. That may be interested in. Something like what I’ll do is. Iclose out is I’m gonna roll. And I’ll show what it does. What it looks like rolled up. It does come with a. Any retention straps. What it looks like with a clip on. And just give me a second. And I’ll get that thing rolled up so. You can see what kind of compact package. It is but once again. This is the Everly stock magic carpet non padded version stand by please okay folks. Ihave the mat rolled up here. What it looks like pretty compact package put. It on a backpack strap.

It to a range bag or just carry. It out by the strap here. And for men then it’s about 21 inches. And the circumference is about 14 inches so. Once again this is the Eberly stock magic carpet non padded version thanks for tuning in. All next time

Hey there Sam Millard here from Panhandle precision comm. This is going to be a field review of kestrels new 5700 sportsmen. You are familiar with the kestrel line of meters. They are pretty much the gold standard of environmental meters. They read things environmental conditions. They have to do with the weather. Ilike barometric pressure temperature humidity heat index things like. That from a long-range shooting standpoint we’ve been using them for years to come up with conditions. We have to enter into our ballistic computers come up with a firing solution namely air density affects the drag on the bullet on sway to the target the other thing we’ve been using Kestrel meters for it is to read the wind. They have a built-in impeller here on top. That will give us an accurate wind speed. We can input into our ballistic calculators ok the thing. That sets the Kestrel sportsman apart from a standard weather meter is the fact. It has a built in ballistics solver in. If you’re using a meter before an ax ballistic solver. You would normally get your conditions off the meter. And then you would input them. It separately into a ballistic solvent with the Kestrel sportsman it’s. All built in and because of. That it’s automatically feeding those inputs to the ballistic solver.

It uses the applied ballistics ballistic calculator. This ballistic calculator is very accurate. And has a capability of giving you a firing solution out to 4000 yards sportsmen will hold three gun profiles those profiles. You can build them with a g1. Or a g7 ballistic coefficient. You can do muzzle velocity chirring with. It to validate your trajectory. It pretties much has the full-blown apply ballistics solver in. It with a few exceptions is. Than enough to make a shot out to the transgenic range of the bullet. You know where the bullet starts to go subsonic as far as the hunting a long-range hunting meter. This meter does it very well. It unlike the old sportsman. It accounts for Coriolis. It accounts for aerodynamic job spin drift those kinds of things. That were missing in the first generation of sportsman.

These meters has basically done for me. Everything I used the elite meter for as far as long-range hunting this meter showed up. Ithink two days before my daughter. Iwere on our way to Wyoming to go on an antelope hunt. Iput a battery in I did a compass calibration on. All up with my preferences. Iuploaded three gun profiles from my phone onto. It turned it on turned on my Leap meter. And checked them both for a 1500 yard shot with my 300 Win Mag. They were identical. Both amused g7 ballistic coefficients. Both amused everything. That I’m concerned with. And making a long-range shot it’s a very accurate ballistic solver I’ve had no problems with doing trajectory validations with. Ithink I’ve had to adjust my velocity 20 feet per second on average across. All of my rifles all of my load Kessler meters are tough they’re designed to be out in weather like. This wet cold heat everything they are waterproof they’re shockproof they’re just ready to rock.

You don’t have to worry about hurting your meter take. It out in the elements get. It wet get it could freeze. It doesn’t really matter. This is a really tough meter. You aren’t gonna have. Any problems with now in the 5k series of 5700 series they’ve really improved the screen the resolution is much better it’s roughly double of what the 4k series were the screen the material. They use on the lens itself on the screen is incredible. Idon’t have a single scratch on. This meter after three months of hard use. Ialso have the elite which is basically the same meter. And I’ve had it for over a year. And don’t have any scratches on its pretty amazing so it’s a very durable unit it’s light it’s just a little bit over four ounces.

It runs on one double a battery. They recommend a lithium battery. Ido too it lasts for a very long time. Ithink it’s rated for 400 hours. Iwould have to agree with. It lasts for a very long time to get to the battery. You had a 4k series. You knew you had to open up the bottom. And then they had a little separator deal. That was separate the two triple A batteries. It was no fun at all on the 5 K series like on. This sportsman there’s. One latch that latch. This whole door comes off the back. One double a battery sits right here it’s very easy to maintain. And the battery lasts a very long time yeah keep mine in. This Tyr case this is just a real simple Cordura case with. Us velcro opening on top it’s very easy to get in. And out of keeps the meter clean. You know safe from any kind of scratches.

Although that screen is pretty tough. Idon’t know how it’s gonna get scratched but anyway. It protects the screen. It has a way either hook. It onto a belt somehow. You can hook this into Mali webbing it’s been a real good case. Ihave the same one for my elite. And I’ve had’t had. Any problems at all with. This is a link model. This is the kestrels new low energy bluetooth model. It will allow it to talk to a lot of different things. You can sync it up to a smart phone. And use the weather side of. This remotely so you can read weather conditions. You can record weather conditions. You can run graphs you can come up with. All kinds of data on. That side on the ballistic side.

You can slave this to a phone put. This in a remote wind vane mount. And actually have this five. You real-time wind speeds away from your shooting position. You can run everything you need to run right on your phone it’s a really good deal. Ireally like the link set up I’ve had. That elite 2 for a year it’s very handy to have. You can also use the link to upload. And download gun profiles Kestrel sportsman also gives. You the ability to shoot with a wind bracket meaning you can have two different wind speeds entered in. It with two distinct Corrections for the shot typically you’d use. You have a steady low speed wind. And then occasionally. You have a high gusting wind. Either average the two out. You can shoot in one condition. Or the other it will put. Both Corrections right on the screen for you at the same time. He has a demonstration.

Iset up a six hundred yard target with the 260 Terminator. It a wind speed from three o’clock a wind direction from three o’clock. And two wind speeds. One for three miles per hour which would be a steady wind the other. One for eight which would be a gust. Iexit out into my firing solution. It gives me two different Corrections so the wind. Ineed to dial right on. Both of them for a three mile an hour wind. Ineed a half minute of Correction for the eight mile an hour wind. Ineed a two-minute correction will show. Some screenshots later but just to go over. Some highlights of the meter. It has a built in red.

Or white back light you don’t have to order. Or the other anymore. You can toggle between. Or the other the white backlighting is incredible. You can see any condition bright sunlight. Whatever the thing I noticed about. This meter though is. That the font on the display on the numbers. And the letters everything is very easy to read. Even in direct sunlight as a bronze tint to the screen background here. It just makes those black letters pop out so you’re not gonna have. Any problem reading this okay ballistic solver includes a lot of the advanced features. We used to take long-range shots like Coriolis spin drift aerodynamic jump. It can be used for all of those things to take really long shots but it’s very easy to use to take the short ones too so. If you’re hunting say with a deer rifle like. This 260 with a 10 power scope. You can use it very well for. That for shooting out across the clear cut at five.

Or six hundred yards. All the way right up to a full ball. And long-range precision rifle to shoot out to a mile so it’s a very good meter for the guy who wants to get started but does to have. All the advanced extreme long-range stuff for your solutions. One target to work with. You can have three different gun profiles loaded onto. One time it includes a moving target profiles so. You can come up with a solution to shoot moving targets. It would be a real ideal PRS type meter as well kit will show a. Few different screens here on the Kestrel sportsman. And later on I’ll have a whole series of how-to videos. And setting it up and actually using it but for now we’ll just go through a.

Few screens this is the power button. You fire it up that’s a start up screen. And it’s gonna go right into the ballistic screen which is. Imostly use it as a ballistics solver pushing this button will let. You go from ballistics to weather. It set on wind speed. Because that’s what I use. Most for but you can scroll. And show all the other weather features on here. They have user screens. This is a user screen. You can put three different values there’s. One okay let’s break out of their go back to ballistics. This is your targeting screen. You would do all your targeting information direction of fire. And clinician degrees. You can use a cosine target speed target Direction wind speed. One wind speed — next. One is the wind you actually change your wind. You can do your different directions here.

And then you would play with your speeds next. One down is your gun. What ever gun you’re using at the time it’s set up for the 260 Terminator. This is the environment screen. This shows all the conditions. That you’re shooting in. That the meter is reading automatically. You update it by scrolling back. And forth you turn. It on to update it’s reading real live data. You turn it doesn’t move at. If you’re in the Sun. Something like it won’t heat up the sensor. This is your latitude for shooting Coriolis Corrections temperature station pressure relative humidity. This is a density altitude number spin drift is on. You can turn you want that’s. That screen next one is the ballistic screen. This shows you basically. What the shots going to be so it’s a 600 yards. We need a nine point nine seven minutes up elevation up wind direction. When speed two this is the lead for a moving target. This is a remaining velocity at 600 yards remaining energy at 600 yards.

This is the range that that bullet goes transgenic under. These conditions this is your managed guns. It shows the three different gun profiles. You can store in you can turn them on. And off so you don’t accidentally have the wrong. One turned on when you’re making a shot. Ijust leave them turned on. And that’s that screen okay let’s show. Some display options okay. You can set your display preferences. And display screen you scroll down to. It there’s display as an auto shutdown feature so. You can set it for off meaning it’ll stay on forever as long as. That the power is turned on. It automatically shuts off in 15 minutes 30 minutes 45. Or an hour this is a contrast. You can adjust this I’ve played around with. This quite a bit on the sportsman. And the elite I found tend to be perfect. This is your back light so right. Now it’s turned on to white. You can just turn it on to red. Whenever you want and back so.

What I’ll do is I’ll shut the lights off. And show what those two screens look like okay it’s set on white right. Now so we’re going to exit out. This is the targeting screen I’ll take a second for the camera to adjust for it but that’s. What the white light looks like so. Ican back out of here go back down to my display scroll to red. And that’s what the red. This is the night vision screen basically back out. What targeting screen looks like with red. You had the old four case series Sportsman I’m gonna go over a. Few differences between. And the 5700 first of. This is a completely different meter. It the screen itself is different the. You know the resolution in the screen is roughly twice. That of Dilla 4k it’s a little bit bigger it’s much easier to see the background is. That bronze tint to. That really makes this black letter stand out the material. They use is some kind of ballistic lens material.

That doesn’t scratch easily I’ve had two of these meters. One for over a year. It has no scratches on. It whatsoever the other difference is. Either get a red and a white background in the meter anytime. You want you don’t have to order. Or the other it has nine keys on the keypad. Now instead of eight they’re a little bit easier to navigate. That make a little more sense to. Me at least the processor is much faster the memory is hugely better. And bigger than the old 4k series is just a better meter. All around alright guys. That does it for my review of the Kestrel sportsman. Ithink you’ll really like. This meter you know it’s got a lot of value a lot of performance built into.

You have an environmental meter. You have wind reading capability. You have a top aligned ballistic solver. It doesn’t get much better. Iappreciate you spare the time watching my videos look for some how-to videos coming out on the Kestrel sportsman soon until then thanks for watching you.

Hey guys Sam here again today we’re going to talk about trajectory validation. How to do it with the kestrel leap okay trajectory validation is. All about getting your ballistics solver your gun your scope your ammo. Everything all lined out together. You know there’s a lot of moving parts. And taking a long-range shot so. You want to remove all the variables. And just make all work right the very first thing you need to do is work on your inputs. That you’re going to put into your solver so. You need to have your zero perfect exactly in the middle of the target. Whatever range you want to zero. Iuse a hundred yards. Because the environmental factors won’t come into play at 100 yards. Idon’t have to worry about wind. Idon’t have to worry about angles. Ihave to worry about. That stuff I can zero my gun on. This old logging road. Ican zero my gun at home it’s just real easy to do.

It at a hundred yards the second thing you want to do is. You want to make sure. You aren’t shooting in conditions. While you’re doing your validation. You can’t read it will drive. You absolutely crazy. You have a wind between. Whatever distance you’re shooting. You can’t see and it’s making the bullet go up. Something like while we’re talking about. That the trajectory validation phase of. Any kind of gun build. Anything like that for me takes place over. Several trips out shooting I don’t just go out. One day find a rock face at a thousand yards shoot. And say I’m done I want to shoot. It in two or three. Or four different places under a couple of different conditions. And start to get you know just kind of good feeling about the validation it’s. All science it should just work but I’ve seen. Igo out everything is perfect. And I’m a genius and then. Igo out another day. And I’m a full minute lower. Or a full minute high on.

Something and I can’t figure. It out so I like to go over. Several trips. And shoot it in a couple of different places the other thing I always do is. Ialways get my muzzle velocity measured on a good chronograph I’ve been using a magneto speed the version 2 for a couple years. Ireally like it before. Iwas using a nailer 35. And I’ve shot both those corona graphs consecutively at the same time. They just agree with. Each other, so I trust them a hundred percent a lot of guys will say. You don’t really need a muzzle velocity. You can just go out. And shoot and then just put in your solver. Whatever you needed to make. That hit yeah you know that’ll get. You there but what happens. You change your load a little bit. If you’re es is really high.

And those three shots. You took on the validation. Where a twenty-nine hundred. And fifty but the fourth shot. You take is twenty-nine hundred. And eighty you know. You need to know that stuff so. Iuse a good chronograph shoot enough shots. That you get a very good average on your muzzle velocity the other thing you want to do is. You want to make sure your scope is moving the correct amount of minutes. Or clicks whatever you’re using for the correction you’re dialing so. You need to come up twenty minutes. And your scope actually dials 21. You need to know that before. You go validating on your solver. What the corrected drops are so. That we’ve gotten through. Some of those inputs let’s talk about the solver itself okay to start our trajectory elevation we’re going to go ahead.

And do our targeting information. Ilike to do a target capture on. Everything gets done perfectly so my direction of fire my angle to the target the temperature humidity station pressure. Everything is perfect. Iget done I’m going to turn off the environmental update so the Kestrel doesn’t heat up okay. We get our information of what the drop should be according to the Kestrel we’re gonna go ahead. And take a shot I like to do cold bore shots for this sometimes I’ll do a follow-up especially. Idon’t believe I really like to do cold bore shots for this. If the bullet lands within a quarter minute of what it called for I’m not going to mess with. It I’m going to take. It put a little bit further. And take another shot. What it do I need to adjust. This is only 790 yards. This is with the 260 Terminator it’s 140 Greenberger hybrid of 29 50 it’s telling me.

Ineed 16 the quarter, so I’m going to take. That shot it doesn’t impact higher. Or lower say than a quarter minute off. That then I don’t have to do. Anything if it does impact high. Ineed to adjust it I’m gonna come down to my gun screen I’m going to select. It shows our muzzle velocity. You can do this a simple way. And just adjust your muzzle velocity. Or the other until your drops match. What the Kestrel is telling you to do so. You are high you’re gonna have to increase your velocity. If you’re low you’re gonna have to decrease your velocity. You can let the Kestrel reverse engineer. It for you just click on your muzzle velocity come down to calibrate muzzle velocity select. It here’s your range. Or your transgenic velocity distance everything’s right here you’re gonna come down to drop.

This impacted a full minute high, so I’m going to take off. One minute of that correction from 16. And a quarter to 15. And a quarter that’s. What I needed to make the shot accurately. What the elite is telling me. That my muzzle velocity to validate. It to the solver should be three thousand twenty-six feet per second so. Iwant to run with that I’m gonna hit the exit button. And it’s going to ask. Me except muzzle velocity. Iwant to I’ll hit select for yes. Idon’t I’ll hit know since my 260 Terminator impacted right on the money for. That then I know twenty-nine fifty works really well with the Kestrel for. That bullet okay we’re finishing our trajectory validation for the 300 Win Mag today yesterday. We worked on the 260 Terminator we’re. All out of ammo for. That gun so some left over for the 300 whinny. We already validated. It to 790 yards we figured out. We had to decrease our velocity to get the right trajectory to match up with the Kestrel Elite so.

What we’re gonna do today is confirmed. That with a shot at eleven hundred 19 yards so let’s see. It lands Jake okay for 1100 19 yards of 300 Win Mag the kestrels telling me. Ineed to come up 299 we’ve got a real light wind about two miles an hour coming off the two o’clock. Ican see it through the scope I’m gonna put a half minute a right wind to help offset spin drift but that’s. It just come on thirty. And just give it a bump you’re not really worried about good wind calls with. What you want to do is get as close as. You can to a horizontal line. That you’re aiming at. And the rock that’s out there’s a really nice crack in. And it’s perfectly level with my scope so it’s real easy to hold on to.

It so let’s see what we get Jake nice. It was within an inch of the horizontal line. Iprobably could have shot. It 4-0 wind as it impacted about three inches to the right of where. Iwas aiming but within an inch of. That horizontal line. Iwas aiming yet so. You know that’s well below the accuracy potential the rifle meaning. You know the rifle shooting 3/8 to 1/2 minute. And that’s within 1/10. Ican’t hold any tighter. Ifeel real confident with my drops with the Kestrel. Now that’s what trajectory validation is. All about Zenda nice to see. That impact was good shot good job little dude.
