Review: Awesome tool - I've had the Kestrel 5700 for almost 2 months and have used it on probably a 6 shooting trips. It has been a very handy tool to help get shots a groundhogs out to 450 yards. While 450 yards isn't that far, you have to be pretty dialed in to hit a small target like that at that distance. Past 450 my group is too large to be more than partially successful, so it would be hard to measure. One things to think about when deciding between this and the Elite is that I'm seeing a 1 MOA difference in some cases when using G1/G7 vs the custom drag models on applied ballistics app, so for me I have decided to upgrade to the Elite after 2 months to help improve my first round hit count. Starting with the low end 5700 first and then upgrading to the Elite doesn't end up costing you any more in the end since the upgrade costs $300, which brought my total out of pocket to $699 (same as the cost of a new Elite), so you can always start with this model and see how it works for you and upgrade later if your shooting demands it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So, does this unit have applied ballistics or not? Someone who asked this question received one no and two yes as answers.**
A: Yes, this unit has a "scaled" back version of the Applied Ballistics calculator.  It does not offer range card, multi-target or access to Litz's custom drag curves.  This model also only holds 3 profiles on the Kestrel opposed to the 30 on the elite.

**Q: Does this device require the use of a phone/tablet/other device after the first time inputting load data?**
A: It will require those for software updates but you don't need them for updating load data. However it does make it much easier to do it by using a phone or tablet.

**Q: Good afternoon.  Will I be able to get this weather station in Germany from America without any problems?  Will there be any problems with customs?  T**
A: I don’t think there would be any ITAR restrictions, but who knows these days . I would contact Kestrel or just order one and see what happens .

**Q: Can you update this with applied ballistics**
A: It will communicate w/AB and talk back and forth between handheld, tablet or laptop.  There also is a heads-up dope card that takes data from the Kestrel and puts it on a screen attached to your rifle (or artillery piece if that's your thing).  You can upgrade the 5700 to Elite, which has expanded features.  Extremely powerful tool.
