Building stages quickly in a Kestrel!

Follow
Chad Kelly

So, after the last PRS match I did I realized that I was wasting a lot of time manually changing the target distances in my Kestrel. I had tried to pre load the target distances for the 2nd match, but when I got to the range and went to send the data to my Kestrel, the sector was showing me a blank screen! I thought it deleted all the info and I just decided to go back to manually changing each target distance. Well, I figured out that the data was still there, I just needed to hit one more button in the app!!
To do this in the Kestrel app:
Open the Kestrel LiNK Ballistics app
Hit the Target Card button
Hit the Sectors button
From there you can name a lot of "Sectors" which I'm using as each stage
With the Sector highlighted with a check mark, hit the back arrow
Then "Edit Targets"
Enter target distance and direction if wanted
If done, hit "Back" and it will save
You can then build another sector by going back to the Sector page
Or, from the Edit Target screen, you can send that target info to the Kestrel
It will overwrite any data on those target cards in the Kestrel
Then you just need to confirm target direction and get your wind speed and direction, then your data will be ready to go!!

It appears that each sector can contain up to 10 targets, and on the Elite like I'm using it can have 30 sectors saved! This should be enough for me to keep my home range, the Freedom Farm, and each stage at the 3 ranges these local PRS matches are held at. I'm looking forward to trying this process in a few weeks at the December match and saving myself a lot of time between stages. It should give me a few minutes to catch my breath and relax a little as I set up for the next stage. Instead of rushing and not calming down any between stages.

If you have any questions, let me know and I'll do my best to answer. I'm still learning this stuff and hoping that this will help some other new people learn to use the Kestrel. I was doing things right, but I thought I was losing all the data. Found out that I just needed to go a little further into the options and my data was there waiting for me! If you have any other good tips for the Kestrel, I'm open to hearing them!! I need to learn as much as I can.
I appreciate you watching and I hope you have a great day!
Thank you Chad
