Using My Kestrel The RIGHT Way!!
So, as I was doing more testing to find the issue I had with my Kestrel, I think I found the problem! When comparing readings with my friend's Kestrel and both giving the same directions, we kept going through some settings and looking into it.
Finally, I told how I set the wind speeds manually at the last matches when I was having problems. I was setting Wind Speed 1 as the lowest speed I saw and Wind Speed 2 as the highest. Well, that is wrong!!!
WS1 is the average speed!!! And WS2 is the high/gust speed.
So I was seeing lows of 2 to 3 but the average was more around 11-14mph. I did a few tests manually changing those numbers and I was getting windage adjustments that went from .1/.2 mil to .9-1.3. So, I was up to a full Mil off on my windage adjustments!! On targets that are 1-1.5 MOA, when aiming at the center that Mil I was off was likely putting my shot right off the edge!
So, I went out here and took some shots with the correct type of readings.
As you can see here, I got hits on every shot that I took!!
So, I think I have this figured out now. I of course will be watching the numbers I'm given and verify that they make sense, but for now I think this issue is something that I have solved!!
Then I took some shots with a few of the more inconsistent rounds. I wanted to know if they would still hit the target. They all did, so I think I can stop stressing a few thousandths of an inch on some of these. I needed to see and verify this before my brain would believe it, lol. I'm hard-headed and have to do things myself before I believe it!
Thanks for spending some time with me. I hope you have a great day and an awesome weekend!! See you on the next one!
This is a private range. All shooting is done in a safe, controlled environment with no people or dwellings within miles to be at risk.
