[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2925193, member: 61747"] I don't know what program they run nor that is matters when you consider it only works to 800 and is clunky. Now to be fair, it was a couple years ago when I last looked at them before getting another set of Leica's. The Leica program is clunky too but does work as it should but only to 1000. Then you have to connect to the kestrel. This is where it gets ridiculous in my opinion. To switch back to the user input data you have to reload it from the app and that requires a cell connection. So, up on the mountain, no cell, switch to kestrel, it works but its meh. 2 devices have to be on and paired. If and when the kestrel is turned off the program does not work. So to switch back to my rifle program I have to load it. For 99.9% of the population I don't think this makes any difference, they'll never use the kestrel link. Hunting past 1000 is reserved for the select few. So, that's my gripe but beyond that, the glass is great, the LRF is great, and the ballistic program is fine 1000 and less. It's beyond annoying you can have great glass but a miss on the app for something costing 3500.00. [/QUOTE]
