Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters and Horus®
Vision have partnered to provide a powerful shooting tool that combines
the critical environmental data and targeting software solutions
required for precision shooting -- all in one four-ounce pocket-sized
unit. Previously, shooters would need to obtain environmental data from a
Kestrel meter and then input that data into a PDA loaded with Horus® ATrag ballistics software. Now, the Kestrel Ballistics Weather Tracker™ with Horus® ATrag® Software
contains all of the necessary data and solutions in one device to
minimize user workload and distraction. Plus, the Kestrel meter is IP67
waterproof and MIL-STD-810F rugged, allowing users to avoid the expense
and weight of a ruggedized PDA.
The new unit allows users to load and customize multiple guns and rounds from the extensive proprietary Horus®
database. Simple, intuitive screens allow the user to create up to
five targets customized for location, distance, direction, declination
and winds. The Kestrel meter's highly accurate measuring and averaging
of wind and digital compass for target bearing and wind direction
assists in defining the target winds. Once these parameters are set, the
Kestrel meter takes over - tracking the current met data and
automatically updating the firing solution using Horus® ATrag advanced proprietary algorithms and taking coriolis and spin drift into account. No additional user input is required.
