Kestrel 5700X WEZ with CDF Weather Meter with Applied Ballistics

Introducing the Kestrel 5700X

Kestrel 5700X WEZ is equipped with the powerful AB Elite solver and WEZ analysis. AB’s WEZ gives the user the ability to guide decisions on weapon systems, ammo and shooting skills to maximize their hit percentage. Shooters can determine what matters and optimize their hit percentage.

The Kestrel 5700X WEZ now integrates Applied Ballistics’ Custom Drag Factor (CDF), a powerful micro-adjustment tool that improves real-world ballistic accuracy. CDF allows shooters to apply a custom scaling factor to the drag curve, fine-tuning ballistic solutions beyond standard profiles. By accounting for subtle, hard-to-measure variables such as bullet lot variation and environmental conditions, CDF increases solution predictability and confidence, helping shooters achieve more consistent hits at distance.

Applied Ballistics’ Custom Drag Factor (CDF) is a highly specialized, micro-adjustment feature designed to significantly enhance the predictability and accuracy of your Kestrel’s ballistic solution.

What It Does

CDF allows users to fine-tune the core ballistic calculations by applying a custom scaling factor to your drag curve, effectively compensating for specific, non-standard variables that exist in the real world but are difficult to measure traditionally.

Key Benefits & Use Cases

• Precision Truing: It functions as a powerful tool for “truing” the device to your specific rifle/ammunition combination, providing a superior level of custom calibration beyond simple velocity input.
• Increased Predictability: By integrating CDF, the device’s output (such as range and holdover solutions) will more closely match actual, real-world bullet flight performance, especially across different ranges.
• Compensation for Equipment Wear: The most critical application is compensating for wear-and-tear on your equipment.
  • Example: Subtle changes due to wear can subtly change a projectile’s flight characteristics in ways that cannot be adjusted on a traditional AB custom curve. Using CDF, the ballistic solution can be trued to accommodate new data and compensate for changes to the drag curve, without having to revert to a G1 or G7 drag model.

CDF, by Applied Ballistics, ensures that the ballistic computer is perfectly tailored to the unique characteristics of your exact shooting system, increasing confidence in every shot.
