Instructional Videos (Kestrel Elite):
Wranglerstar recently posted a great video on using a Kestrel Elite weather gauge with a built-in ballistics calculator. He shows how it revolutionizes accurate long range shooting: The Thing You Should Fear The Most. This is a similar set-up to how I have my KDG Optics Hub configured. In it, I have a Leupold Mark 4 spotting scope mounted co-axial with a Bushnell CONX 1-mile laser rangefinder. The rangefinder (mounted on top) is linked to my Kestrel weather station. I will post a feature-length article on my experiences putting that system together, sometime later this year.
