Kestrel 5700 Elite Handheld Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics & LINK Connectivity
KESTREL
The Kestrel 5700 Elite Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics and LiNK is purpose-built for long-range shooters who demand precision. This handheld weather station captures up to 15 environmental parameters—wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and more—then feeds that data into sophisticated ballistics calculations to predict bullet trajectory with real accuracy. Whether you're dialing elevation on the range, preparing for a hunting trip, or chasing tight groups at distance, the 5700 Elite gives you the environmental intel and ballistics engine serious marksmen rely on.
What sets the 5700 Elite apart is its access to Bryan Litz's library of over 225 measured ballistic coefficients—the gold standard for modern bullet data. You can choose G1 or G7 ballistic coefficients depending on your cartridge and ammo. The meter also learns your rifle: use the onboard ballistics calibration feature to "train" the software to match your specific gun based on real long-range impacts, making future calculations even more accurate. That kind of rifle-specific tuning is a game-changer for precision shooting.
Connectivity is built in. Bluetooth LiNK syncs your environmental and logged data wirelessly to iOS or Android phones, Macs, or PCs—no cables, no hassle. The 5700 Elite also integrates with Bushnell CONX Rangefinders, so you can view Applied Ballistics results right on your rangefinder display. The rugged molded polymer body is sealed against battery leaks, the screen toggles between white and red (night vision–friendly) backlighting, and it runs all day on a single AA battery. At this size, it genuinely fits in your shooting bag without adding weight.
