Maintal von timmins egal ob sport schützt oder jäger wichtig ist immer dass der schuss ins Schwarze trifft eine hilfe dazu wollen wir heute immer vorstellen nämlich die zielhilfe die firma goldbeck schauen uns mal an was diese zielhilfe kann die zielhilfe ist aus aluminium gefertigt und für 360 grad drehung gedacht sie klappen das stativ nach unten und haben jetzt die möglichkeit jedes einzelne bein in der höhe zu verstellen so ist die höhe einstellbar von 51 bis zu 107 cm bis aufstellen ist denkbar einfach, die klappen das stativ aufpassen ist den boden gegebenheiten individuell an und fixieren dann die auflage so lassen sich zahlreiche einstellungen am stativ vornehmen man kann zum beispiel die länge des stativ verstellen die neigung der auflage natürlich auch die richtung und so kann ich auf 360 grad mit dieser cd hilfe arbeiten durch die variable höhenverstellung kann ich es einsetzen zum beispiel in cannes zelt aber auch knien oder liegend im freien geeignet ist eine solche ziele für vor allen Dingen zum einschießen kontroll schießen aber natürlich auch für das long range shooting zum transport gibt es einen passenden trageriemen stets eine sichere kugel und viel waidmannsheil wünschte ihnen das ziel ins.

Hi today we’re going to do a review on. This Earshot pill pod but. Any by car well and it’s fully adjustable. Ican move my holder in. Ican move and down high. Or lower it has about believe. This is a 3-foot adjustable tripod on. You can sit on the ground sit on a bucket. Whatever I’m going to do from a standing position it’s pretty well free moving so. You were out shooting caios you’ve got to follow them across the way. It swings just fine overall. It seems like pretty good unit. You can make the decision for yourself. They are kind of expensive they’re over $100 but I’m going to give it a little go here I’ve got four targets out there. And I’m going to play like let. How with you know it will hold a regular a. Or 30 magazine both guns fit in here oh. Ilike the Vulcans in. It a little bit better. This AR but I’m going to give it a whirl we’ll see. What happens then you go ahead give it a whirl let’s see. What happened actually shot. It shot in fact I miss too but. It swings real easy. It seems to be fairly stable. Ithink it’s a great bonding type up deal. You want to sit on a bucket. Than lay on the ground. And it’s its extremely sturdy. You get a hold your gun. You just need to tighten. And SSA it’s only fully adjustable. You can see you put a longer get in here. You want it farther out. Whatever you need to do but.

Ithink for inside for deer hunting or. Anything we want sitting on a bucket. Or a stool it’s a pretty good deal well thanks for watching my video as with. These products. Ibought these aren’t products. Iget so you know you can take. It for sure I not get this for free. Or didn’t get it for free so thanks again. You have a wonderful day.

Hey everybody cave dweller 1959 coming at. You from a cave today I’ve taken a. Few minutes here maybe I’m gonna do. Some product reviews. That I’ve never really done before. This one here it’s a unit. Ibought late last winter early spring it’s called the Caldwell dead shot filled pod comes with unit. Ibought it specifically walk in on prairie dog towns. That say they’re on public land. You can’t drive off the beaten path maybe. You are on private property. It rained a couple days ago. And it’s not dried up enough to be driving out there. You have to walk not a bad deal. You put everything in a five-gallon bucket. This thing hangs over your shoulder like. Ijust showed you five pounds two ounces that’s. Where it folds down to its smallest right there with. Nothing more roller out give it a little bit of smugness right there starting at the far end. And you loosen that. On this one can go up. Or down or whatever. You can adjust the fit got. Anything from ar-15 type stuff too virtually. Any kind of rifle out there shotgun. Whatever you’re hunting with. And slider down Bop to the middle big thumb wheels. If you have a very long gun. You need to pull that out farther that’s getting pretty long right there. You notice there’s if.

You can see that they got two black marks on here. And you collapse it down. You want to be able to see those two marks OOP. And that allows the leg to fit in here. When you put it collapses. It back down look you tripod legs are like every other set of tripod legs. You ever dealt with. This would also work good. You see them a little three-quarter three-legged chairs they’re made for ground blind hunting you don’t weigh. Nothing little nylon. You just take the legs. And claps down real small package. You know I’ll get that. When the rifle of choice for today is an ar-15. And yes it is unloaded. It is pretty bell balanced. You just put enough snug on. That tension right there let’s get her down bids way too high for me we’re shooting purposes anyway personally.

Ilike to carry as little as possible in with. Me but I gotta have. Some kind of stable platform. And this is pretty stable. You shoot a lot of prairie dogs off. That or whatever else you’re shooting you got. It this way rotates. This way 360-degree every way imaginable ah. Igot up like that twenty round mag tens. And twenties would be no issue whatsoever. You want to get her up. All the way if you want to use a thirty rounder. It could probably be done. That way too and you would not need to be. That high what they say your bolt-action rifle. You drop them down you know quite a bit lower but just want to show. You that it does work for. That situation as I say. It was five pounds two ounces. Ithink I did right out of a hundred dollar bill it’s. What it cost me tear down it’s just the opposite there’s no specific way shape the form. You just do it you know.

And go all the way. That direction do they allow the legs to fold up inside actually. When you’re out there. And I’m just going from. One time to the other. Idon’t even fold these down. Ileave them up fold. It down the rest of the way out the strap on. It hit the road I like shooting off the ground sitting down keeping a low profile on. Most things but you know. Something like say maybe grass is too high grass is too tall maybe got back issues there’s. All kinds of reasons to get up off the ground comfort okay. You something for gun what’s wrong with. You okay gotta get the lag 100%. All the way back in. And she collapses right inside there we’re back to. Where we started Caldwell dead shot field pod. One more time five pound 2 ounces comes with the shoulder strap buy $100 bill thanks a lot of folks thanks limb coming along.

Everyone no loose light outdoors okay. We had a couple products here. That I’m we want to talk to. You about but first. Iwant to reduce you to my father. This is Marvin skogen my dad. All right he’s on his first ever elk hunt with. And he’s had some health issues over the past couple years. That have left him I don’t want to say handicap but a little bit a little bit challenged in. Some areas and the first thing I would talk to. You about is what the modifications. Imade to his rifle so. You notice that the scope is mounted way forward for him. We had a gunsmith make a Pirating blank here for him. And then we’re using a nice scope. That is virtually blind in his right eye he’s right-handed. And due to he’s had basically doesn’t have a cervical neck it’s. All whew so he has very little mobility so like. We have right eye issues. We could always shoot with our left eye. We had to that is an option for dads so. Iopted to use an icicle. And here in Colorado it’s legal as long as it’s not projecting a dot.

Anything on the target. And so that’s his setup so for those of. That are handicapped. And may have some issues. Or elderly this might be a good option for you the other thing. Ireally want to talk about. Ireally want to give a shout out to. These guys is the guys at Coldwell. This is the Magnum field pod it’s fairly new to the market. It is just a phenomenal pet pod dad’s been using this. All week and unfortunately hasn’t. Yet gotten to fire round off at an elk through. It but we’re hoping. That’s yet to come but. This field pot is just it’s just great it’s very sturdy very easy to set up very fluid. It moves you know it’s just.

You think of a dad you like. It oh yeah it so the balance is so great. You from Japan depending on the size of your rifle. You can adjust this slides forward. And back through and the balance. This way is it set up for your rifle it’s just absolutely perfect. And yeah you know so. We just wanted to do a little show. You guys this product. It works how we’re using in here for elk hunting for my dad. You can see he’s got just a phenomenal view he’s got about a 330 yard range. And dad offhand just isn’t capable of making those shots without. Some kind of rest. And to be using bog pot. Something like that that has to be lifted up with rifle.

And moved around just isn’t a viable option for him so. This coldwell Magnum filled pod it’s the ticket. And again my hats off to. You guys for building it. And for setting us up with. It great product yes. And it’s the right weight it’s very lightweight compact. When it’s all folded up its compact. You throw it on your shoulder. And away you go yep fantastic product right. You know and it’s aluminum. And there’s some some of the heavy plastic the poly but very well-built very well done yeah so thanks for watching wish. Is luck we’re hoping to put down a nook tonight aren’t. We dad yes we are yeah so with.

That we’re gonna say goodbye make. It a great day take your youth awning thanks dad for taking me hunting as a kid appreciate. And have a great day god bless my boy you.

All right Steve with desert dwellers. And for this episode. We are going to be looking at the CAD weld full pod. This a little tripod rifle resting and fairly simplistic but. It works really well so comes with. This little scrap hookup takeoff. Inormally just English going on. Now for a tripod base swinging it out. Igot to loosen one takes actually does a little bit longer. Then the chair pod the catwalk chair pod just set up but it’s a lot of lighter so. If you’re gonna pack farther. You probably want to do. Something lighter then. We gotta get the legs out alright. Iget down here because it’s short can I’m tall come to the same thing with the share pod. We loosen up the screws back them up puff them up into place lock them back down sand with. One again this one’s. All aluminum with plastic not sure exactly. How well Welkin is but see. How well the plastic holds up in time but. It still gives you pretty good movement. Now to adjust this part here. You got to loosen these up a little bit.

And like the Chur pod pop your things up there. You need to say and out for the length of your rifle. You can loosen and slide. That back and forth for the balance of your right bolt. One unlike the chirp pipe is I’m so big. And you’re kind of stuck in the chair. Icould put this here in the middle. If these are a little tight. And I’m going to go up a little bit. More we’ve still got. That leg around back to enough in a 20-round row. And today they are. All the size of nervous. That is in front of 20s again like a ar-15 with the suppressor so. This is coming my heaviest of the rifles. You see it’s kind of heavy. Once of nosedive you can walk.

It down but at this point. Ithink I’d rather just slide. It back you’re getting under kind of have. These videos you know with your own rifle you’re gonna know. Where you’re going to be shooting. That out you reckon s knit. While the rifles in. It which you can obviously see slide. That forward pick these back down. Now of course you know I’m going this way. Because on this particular. They are containing. That soap that’s heard a big heavy steel suppressor stainless steel suppressor adds a lot of weight to exact, so we’re gonna listen. It still a little nose heavy but not bad so. You just kind of snug. That up about that’s of course. You gotta be you can sit be on your knees adjust the legs. You want it kind of gives. You a little less room of Swing compared to the chair pod but you’re here on. One central pivot point. Whereas a chair pod. You have three pivot points so but the weight difference is much better.

This is probably well within five pounds I’d have them wave. It but as you can see. It holds the AR this is my heavy. One pretty good I am 6-3. And 240 pounds currently. Iam NOT gonna be on my knees. Even on my butt to be using this. Ipicked this up a couple months ago I’m Sportsman’s Warehouse here in Reno. It is made by marco outdoors. And basically it’s just a little fitting here. It pops up fairly easy. It too much like the chair pod has a 360-degree swivel. And it’s camouflage so for me notice. Iwas gonna sit there for more. Than about five minutes I’m gonna have to get in touch chair. These went out many years ago.

You have a chair you can swivel a little bit. You got the rifle rest. You can move a little bit so gives. You a pretty decent setup not really. That expensive this was um. They run about $$8090 off Amazon. It on sale for like 60 plus well my 65. All together sherry got 440. This would allow you wanted to go ride. Or left-handed we’re trying out I’m a right-handed shooter but. Ican’t shoot luck handed to a point. Inowhere near as fast but. Ican shoot left-handed. And um but it does hold your rifle right there with the shooting sticks. Iwas using I usually use a tripod. Or student a bipod on a front so. Icould just set my rifle on the ground next to. Ican use the binoculars. And look around this allows. You to basically keep your rifle.

Ihave much better ready position anyway thanks for watching the unique comments. Or questions let you know we’re quite an answer for that.

Iplay 100 lasers bore sighting system. You get the package home I’m going to open. It up here give a little walkthrough what’s in the box basically you’re going to open. And inside here let’s get. This organized a little bit you’re going to have the laser bore sighting system itself which is pretty simple. It comes with batteries preinstalled simple on/off switch here will turn. And then at the tail end here you’ve got. What they call their Oh ring system. And in the box you’re going to see a bunch of these o-rings here which fit a variety of calibers there’s also a couple of different adapters here a rifle adapter. And then there’s also a shotgun adapter here as well. This piece here on the end is going to be probably. You know if you’re putting a new scope on. And you’re trying to get a bore sighted in. What this does your first step is going to be aligning your crosshair so it’s perfectly vertical. And horizontal to the plane of your rifle. And that’s what this adapters here is for when. It turns the dot into a flat edge laser. What you do is they provide a target here so. What you’re going to do. You won’t see and I’ll put in. Some supplemental video. It shows a little bit better but you’re going to basically a tweak your scope until you’ve got. It aligned vertically you’ve got your crosshairs aligned vertically. And horizontally the cool thing is on. This target they actually provide a level. And also in the package.

When you’re ready to start bore sighting you’ve got. This target here what you’re going to do let. This adapter off you’re going to find the appropriate oring adapter for your caliber you’re going to insert. This into the barrel. Another nice thing is. This adapter part here is also magnetized so as. It slots in it’s a very tight fit but it’s also magnetized so. Once you’ve got it in it’s going to stay it’s not going to fall out which. Ithink is a very cool thing and then. What you’re going to do is according to your instructions you’re going to set up your rifle 25 feet away. And you’re going to put the laser in the center the target there. And then you’re going to adjust your wind age. And elevation x’ on your scope so. It meets the crosshair here. Because you’re only 25 feet away that’s why there’s the difference. And that’s critical don’t you’re not going to target the laser. And your scope crosshairs here like.

Isaid laser points going to go there crosshairs there. And again this is set up at 25 feet according to their instructions. You go through those steps keep in mind it’s not going to. You know you’re not going to be able to install. And do the basic bore sighting and expect to walk out to your range. Or walk out the door. And go hunting and be zeroed in. You still have to take. It out to the range to finish your final zeroing in my case as an example. This on my new Sig 5 to 2 22 rifles. And went through their instructions took. It out to the range. Ithink my groupings just my first three shots. Iwas about 2 to 3 maybe 4 inches off my bullseye so basically just keep in mind. What this is going to do it’s going to get. You on paper hopefully. And then it’s going to you’re just going to have to adjust from there. That it’s big its advantage it’s going to save.

You ammo you know you just throw your scope on their head out to the range you’re probably going to spend 3 to 4 times the amount of ammo getting it sighted in first using a system like. This question you have to ask yourself is. It worth this particular setup like. This is a sight light 100 retails. Ithink around $99 there are cheaper versions but the problem. Ifound I’ve used the cheaper ones. And instead of using this o-ring system. They have adapters you screw in. And I’ve never on those cheap. One to be able to get a tight fit into the barrels of the firearms I’ve been using it on in. This case like I said between the o-rings on the. This part being magnetized very tight very good seal on the barrel but again getting back to the cost. You know you’re going to see them online. And again the one thing I’ve noticed too is. This particular brand is OEM doubt — I’ve seen Cabala’s brand which is basically the same exact border sighting system except. It just labeled as Cabala’s I’ve seen.

It at a couple different sportsman stores with their labels on. And again it’s the same exact brand. Ithink in my case actually. Ipurchased this the packaging was an OEM package from compells but. You open it up it’s. All site light so just. Something to keep in mind. Iwould again it just depends on your needs. If you’re changing scope salon. You know you’re doing a lot of adjustments. Ithink in the long run it’d be worth. It just in the cost of animal you’re going to especially in your higher-end calibers with the price of ammunition. These days it might be worth the investment. It again like I said its just going to save. Some time and aggravation. You get out to the range excuse. One other thing it also includes adapters for some. Most of your pistol calibers. One thing I used it for will show my M&P; here.

Ihave a stream light tlr-2 on my MMP. It comes with the laser but again. You have to adjust this out at the range so. What I did before even took the laser system out to the ranges. Iuse the bore sighting system to zero in the laser. And again it’s not going to be perfect but. It does give you a general ballpark vicinity into the target like. Isaid on my 522 rifle. Iwas within three or four inches. You know within the first three shots so in. That case you know again. You know I’m not under 22. You know that’s not a big deal but. Ithink like you get in your higher calibers. You — 23 s and above. You know you’re looking at the cost of ammo. And sighting in as a matter of fact. Iwas there by 5:22 a gentleman next to. Me had just brought out his deer hunting rifle. And had to stop he ran out of ammo. And didn’t have enough. He still didn’t have. It sighted improperly. Ithink in that case. He probably would have saved a lot of time a lot of expenses in ammo by using a system like.

This but like I said it’s up to. You the way the cost verse the. How often you would use. They also include adapters for 12. And 60 in this particular version 12. And 28 shotgun adapters. Ipointed out or that’s. What you would use this particular adapter for so there. Ican’t really make a judgment on. It for me it seems to work so. Ican’t complain it’s a sight like 100.

Iplay 100 lasers bore sighting system. You get the package home I’m going to open. It up here give a little walkthrough what’s in the box basically you’re going to open. And inside here let’s get.

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.

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.
