Kestrel Ballistics is the precision-shooting division of Nielsen-Kellerman, producing handheld ballistic weather meters that combine real-time environmental measurement with onboard ballistic solvers for accurate long-range firing solutions.
Kestrel Ballistics designs rugged, handheld devices that measure wind, temperature, pressure, humidity, and density altitude at the shooter’s position, then calculate precise elevation and windage corrections. These meters are used in the field, on the range, and in competition to generate reliable firing solutions under changing conditions. Models with the Applied Ballistics engine allow shooters to account for advanced effects like spin drift, Coriolis, and aerodynamic jump without relying on static DOPE cards. For precision rifle shooters, hunters, and MIL/LE users, Kestrel units reduce guesswork, speed up decision-making, and improve first-round hit probability at extended distances.
