range of your target by highlighting the Range… menu item and use the right and left arrows.
Select Continue and next point the back of the Kestrel towards the target to capture DOF. After
that, point the Kestrel into the prevailing wind and capture the wind for several seconds.
You will notice an Elevation number at the top of the screen. Take a group of shots using this
Elevation hold at the range that was specified. Measure the distance (up and down) between
center of the target and your group of shots. Adjust the Elevation to match the actual elevation
drop.
For example, the above shows an Elevation hold of 18.21 MOA. After shooting, you notice that
the elevation drop was 0.5 MOA below center of the target. Therefore the total elevation drop
you witnessed was 18.21 + 0.5 = 18.71 MOA.
Adjust the Elevation to the drop you actually saw, in this case 18.71 MOA. The Axial FF will
change, select Continue to accept this adjustment and your gun profile will be calibrated
through the supersonic, transonic and subsonic regions.
Congratulations! You have now calibrated your Hornady 4DOF Kestrel 5700 and will receive
accurate solutions at any range, under any weather conditions, and at any altitude without
having to adjust your solution.
