Kestrel Instruments are releasing a Heads-Up Display for their 5 Series of Ballistics Meters.
The big question is if this is another gadget that will just leave your long range shooting with even more confusion or the next “must-have-thing” to hit?
The Kestrel HUD connects to your Kestrel wind meter wirelessly, to enable you to see shooting solutions for up to 10 targets.
It’s like having a live DOPE Card attached to your rifle, that reacts to all the Kestrel sensors.
Below you can see pricing and features vs functions. Prices range from $399 to $589 depending on your choice.
Available options for the Kestrel HUD 5 Series Ballistics Heads Up Display include two types of remotes, and a Picatinny-rail mount, hardwire connection, timer, digital level and round counter are also included with the display.
