• Use quality ammo with a consistent muzzle velocity. To
ensure you’re using an accurate Ballistic Coefficient value,
check that the bullet (projectile) you’d like to use is in
the bullet library. (Hornady ELD-M, Hornady ELD-X and
Federal Gold Medal Match are examples of commonly
available cartridges with bullets listed in the bullet
library.)
• While using the muzzle velocity from an ammo box
or reloading manual is an OK place to start, it’s best to
confirm your muzzle velocity with a chronograph. If you
don’t have a chronograph, or if the Elevation solution
from the Kestrel still doesn’t match your up-down point of
aim, do an MV calibration. (For best results with the 2700,
calibrate MV when there is little to no wind).
• Check that the distance to the target you have entered is
accurate. Use a laser rangefinder or GPS if possible.
• Return your scope turrets to zero before dialing a new
solution to avoid adding a new solution on top of a
previous solution.
• Adjust the parallax knob on your scope until the reticle
and target are both in focus together. This will avoid a
shift in aim if your eye is not perfectly in line with the
scope.
• Check the “Current Profile” line in the app to ensure that
the correct gun profile is entered into the 2700.
• Make sure that the values and units set in the gun profile
match your gun, ammunition and target. (For example,
check that G1/G7, MILs/MOA, yards/meters settings are all
set correctly.)
• Confirm the rifle and scope are accurately zeroed at the
distance entered in the 2700 so that the grouping is
centered on the intersection of your crosshairs with no
Elevation or Windage dialed on your scope. (For example,
don’t zero 2 inches high at 100 yards.)
• Check that your rifle’s scope rings and action screws are
tightened to the manufacturers specs. To ensure your
scope is mounted vertically, line up the vertical line in
your reticle with a plumb bob.
