Kestrel 5700 Zero Issue?

[Brydawg512]

Hello,

This may be a dumb question, but here it goes…

I was toying with my Kestrel and discovered that when I set my Target Distance to 100 yards, it provides a correction of 0.20 MOA down.

What has me confused is my zero distance is 100 yards and set as such on the Kestrel.

*EDIT* I will add that when the target distance is set to 129 yards, it does not have any elevation adjustment.

Any insight?

Sounds like it is calculating the adjustment from center of bore to optic? Is there a input for that? Sorry not real familiar with kestrel

Thanks

Make sure that you put all your data in the Kestrel for you rifle and Scope position.

Yes, there is a separate input for center of bore to center of scope, which I have input.

Yes that has been accomplished.

I have it set at 3 o'clock, with wind 1 at 5mph and wind 2 and 10 mph

Turn off AJ..see if that brings its back to zero

Ok, thank you.

I removed the wind 1 value and set that at 0. Wind 2 is still set at 10.

Back to correct zero. Thank you for your help.
