[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2226896, member: 25377"] From the ground up, I've got a set of RRS 33 legs with a leveling base and a RRS Fluid Head (discontinued, sadly). That keeps everything true to the horizon and super smooth movement. On top is a Vectronix Vector 23 LRF bino. The cable is a special data cable for the DRS Bravo bluetooth dongle. The bluetooth dongle connects wirelessly to the Kestrel 5700X AB. The Kestrel HUD connects wirelessly to the Kestrel 5700X as well. So, I ping a target with the Vector 23, it sends inclination, azimuth/dof (direction of fire), and range to target to the Kestrel 5700X AB. (Applied Ballistics) The Kestrel is reading temperature, pressure, wind intensity, wind direction, (among other things) and feeds it to the on-board Applied Ballistics solver. That solver is setup with the specific rifle and bullet profile I'm running. AB then computes the firing solution using all of that... and spits out elevation and the wind 1 and wind 2 horizontal adjustments. The HUD sits down by the shooter, so they can get an active readout of the elevation, W1/W2, and then its up to the shooter to use their instincts to place the shot properly. The Kestrel is mounted in a free spinning weather vane, so it is actively sending wind intensity and direction to the shooters HUD via bluetooth. The 5700X is updating constantly in the vane, so if there's a shift of intensity or direction... the firing solution is automatically updated on the HUD. The Vector 23 LRF has a beam divergence of less than 3 tenths of a mil, (0.3mil) so it is extremely capable when pinging tiny colony varmints way out there. We're currently working through a bluetooth issue between the DRS Bravo and the Kestrel, but I've been able to keep things running for the most part. It all together allows some very impressive work to be done afield. Some days I just like to drive around in the side by side zapping them out the window with 17WSM's. When it's time to get serious, this is what I drag out. [/QUOTE]
