3. Environment

These three main data groups

determine an accurate firing

solution. The first step in getting a

firing solution is selecting your gun.

Gun selection

The Gun Selection screen allows you

to choose a preconfigured gun or

build your own. You may create and

store up to 16 guns. A user-created gun is defined as a

gun that has been modified for one or more parameter

values of the New Gun or any of the preconfigured guns.

A preconfigured gun is any gun loaded onto the Kestrel

using the AB Gun Loader software.
When a New Gun is modified, the name instantly

changes to UserGunX (where X is a number suffix to

ensure the name is unique). If a preconfigured gun

(whose name ends in a letter) is modified, a number

will appear at the end to create a unique name. If a

preconfigured gun (whose name ends in a number)

is modified, a letter will appear at the end to create a

unique name.

• Turn on the unit. From the Main AB screen,

press to access the Main Setup Menu.

• Press

to highlight “Gun

Selection.”

• Press

to enter Gun

Selection Screen. Here, you

may choose a preconfigured

gun or build your own.

Gun sElECTIOn

To Choose a preconfigured Gun:

• Press

to scroll through the different guns.

• Press to turn your selected gun “on” or “off.” “On”

means the gun is available to be selected in AB mode.

“Off” means the gun is not available to be selected.

For example, setting multiple guns to “On”

allows you to quickly switch gun configurations

without going back to the Main Setup Menu.

• Pressing

on a gun gives you

the option to edit or delete this

gun.

To Build A Gun:

You can build and name your gun

on the gun selection screen.

• Use

to highlight New Gun and press

• This will take you to the gun information screen

where you may adjust all gun parameters. Press up or

down to highlight the gun parameters.

• Use and to adjust each

value.

• To name your gun, scroll up to

highlight “Gun” and press

• You will see a cursor appear

under the first letter of New

Gun.

• Use the

and

buttons

to scroll through the alphabet

and numbers 0-9 and several

symbols. Pressing inserts a

space between characters. You

can choose between upper and

lowercase letters.
