The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics is a handheld environmental and ballistics instrument built for precision long-range shooting. It measures wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, heat index, pressure, and altitude, and pairs those readings with an Applied Ballistics calculator for accurate shot placement.
The Applied Ballistics bullet library includes custom drag models, and the meter applies environmental corrections for Aerodynamic Jump, Spin Drift, Coriolis, and Drop Scale Factoring. Bluetooth connectivity links it to iOS and Android devices, while the high-resolution screen stays readable in all lighting conditions and the intuitive interface keeps navigation quick in the field.
