Questions & Answers
You can connect the wind meter to your smartphone and walk to the 1200 meter site you're interested in before returning to your rifle's position and taking a reading. That would be a safe bet. Until the wind shifts and you have to re-position yourself. br>Reliable is your question.br>Sample the site. A better question is how to use this dependable wind meter in practice. br>br>If you sample wind speed and directions, as well as observe the vegetation movement associated with the wind speed the meter consistently delivers, you and I will improve our ability to read the signs of various wind speeds and directions. If we don't want to go for a walk and create a visual catalog of which plant movements correspond to wind speed signs - I suppose as we develop quiet cargo-related technologies, that will be the case. We'll have a reliable reading as well as a practical sampling of wind speed and direction if we use drones that can push buttons and fly the meter 1200 yards away.
The "wind meter" for the Sig Sauer Kilo 2400ABS is a cellphone attachment that you set up to synchronize with your Kilo 2400 via BlueTooth signaling. The "wind meter" is plugged into the phone's input/output port (headphone jack). The Kilo 2400's "reads" the data and adds it to the ballistic calculations using the downloaded application. Whether you're hunting wild animals with a rifle or a camera, the "wind meter" is typically used to set benchmark wind readings for various landmarks along the range. Because the wind changes throughout the hour and day, new readings will most likely be taken only once or twice a day, as the disruption it causes in the movement of wary creatures is reason enough to limit the frequency with which wind readings are taken with the "wind meter" and cellphone. br>br>I make it a habit to collect wind meter readings and observe the movement of tell-tales once a day. I'm going to put plants at each landmark so I can watch their movements and gauge (estimate) the wind speed as the day goes on. We can add that estimate to the right-hand estimate. right or left-handed To improve the accuracy of the ballistic calculations, use the proper "windage" settings. In other words, the "wind meter" is employed with caution. The frequency with which you want to walk the entire length of your location and disturb the animals with your presence and human scent varies depending on the person and the situation. br>br>The "wind meter" is a feature on your cellphone that reads data in the area directly adjacent to you and wherever you take readings.
With the exception of the smartphone jack, all of the items mentioned in your question are included in the package. There is, however, a Bluetube-compatible app. It's relatively simple to set up your scope. I tested the rangefinder up to 1000 meters and found it to be extremely accurate. I strongly advise you to buy it.
It is necessary to include everything.
Selected User Reviews For Sig Sauer Digital Ballistic Laser Rangefinder Kilo2400ABS
I've never used a better range finder. The range where I frequently go has hills set up to what I initially mistook for 100 yards the first couple of times I went, but after using it, I realized they were set in meters. After re-zeroing my scope to a true 100 yard range, I was able to hit a clay pigeon setup on a mound at 330 yards, which was impressive for a bad shot like me, and after three shots, I was able to consistently hit a 6in gong at 560 yards, which was my own fault because I wasn't using the wind meter and was hitting to the right. The best target shooting investment I've ever made. br>br>The only gripe I have is that tethering via Bluetooth is a pain. It's extremely difficult to communicate, and I'm rarely able to maintain a consistent connection as a result. This is done on the Android platform. If this could ever be fixed, it would easily be a 5 star rating.
This book, which comes highly recommended by Ryan Cleckner (author of the Long Range Shooting Handbook) and was created in collaboration with John Lovell of Amazon's Warrior Poet Society shop, covers the majority of the data needed to make a long shot possible and precise. br>br>The Sig Kilo2400ABS app on your phone connects to this device via Bluetooth to calculate environmental values and calculations you enter about your rifle(s), bullet(s), and scope details. I'll make a list of the information I'll need and explain how I'll go about gathering it. for visitors who have recently arrived br>br>If you're a seasoned shooter, you're probably not going to read my notes because you're probably still using old-school calculation methods. br>br>Practise, use the device, and have fun plinking accurately from afar.
The Kilo2400 ABS accomplishes exactly what I had hoped for - Measure the distance between two points and display the holdover in millimeters or millimeters of an inch. You set the range, and the bright, ambient-adjusted OLED display shows it for two seconds, then the scope setting for two seconds, and then the cycle repeats three times, I believe. br>br>As you read this, keep in mind that the rangefinder can be used independently of the phone app once it has been set up. Range and holdover can be obtained without using the phone app. The rangefinder stores all gun and environmental data, and the ABS app is built into the rangefinder, so once a profile(s) is set and synced from the app to the rangefinder, the rangefinder is self-contained, with a few caveats I'll go over later. br>br>There are a few things to keep in mind, none of which are major issues. For example, you must set it up using your phone (Android or iPhone). The rangefinder itself does not allow you to change rifle or other settings. You can choose between yards and meters when displaying the range, as well as basic operational parameters. The range finder does not allow you to adjust the wind speed, scope height, muzzle velocity, BC, or other parameters. To do so, you'll need to use your phone's app. br>br>You can choose one of four gun profiles to be active, which you can choose from the unit, but each profile must be set up with the app. Prof 1 - Prof 5 are the names on the profiles. 4 and they don't tell you what kind of gun was used in that profile; you'll have to use the phone app to find out. As a result, you'll need to know which app contains which gun and data, or you'll have to look it up on your phone. br>br>The rangefinder contains all environmental sensors. That bothers me a little because the temperature sensor will be affected if the electronics generate any heat. However, it is unlikely that the effect would be strong enough to cause a hold-over error. Also, I'm not sure how it measures humidity; it appears to be an enclosed unit, so I'm not sure how it detects humidity; however, it appears to be fairly accurate when compared to my Kestrel 5700 Elite with exposed sensors. br>br>Be aware that the range finder does not display the temperature or any other environmental values; however, the phone app does. br>br>One issue is that confirming the range/holdover is a bit of a pain. Let's say you're ranging a difficult target when something unexpected happens and you forget to set the scope. Then you realize you haven't read the holdover in a while and need to go back and read it. You simply look in the rangefinder to get them if the unit is still cycling through range and holdover. You must re-enter it if it has been timed out or cycled out. This could be problematic if the target is difficult. Finally, the Kilo 2400 ABS should be able to connect to a Kestrel weather meter to obtain wind speed from the Kestrel and adjust the windage hold accordingly, but it does not; The ABS version of the Kilo 2400 BDX will not work. And this might be an issue. When it comes to dealing with the wind, you're on your own. The app can be used to set wind speed and direction, but it must be synced with the rangefinder afterwards. If the wind shifts, you'll have to start over. br>br>The rangefinder includes an anemometer (wind speed instrument) that connects to a phone's audio jack, assuming your phone has one. Even if it does, you'll need to keep your phone app open and hold it in the wind to get the wind speed and direction. That might work, but I'm not sure. br>br>However, if you can range it, the Kilo2400 ABS will calculate and display range, holdover, and angle of incline for you; all you have to do is range, read the holdover, and set the scope, and you're done. I don't have a BDX scope, and I'm not sure if it connects to one, so if you're thinking about buying the Kilo 2400 ABS, you should double-check. For use with a BDX scope, the Kilo2400 BDX is probably the better option (less expensive).
Since my Extreme Long Range custom rifle was built by True Zero Enterprises, this has been the best piece of hunting equipment I've bought. Elk, deer, and hogs are like snowflakes falling from the sky.
This is absolutely incredible! It appeals to me. For long-range shots, it includes everything except the wind. The only thing you need to keep in mind is which rifle you have programmed into the program. If you load more than one rifle into the program, it won't let you name them, so you'll have to remember which rifle is 1 and which is 2, and so on.
This is incredible. At 600 yards and 15k feet, I shot a Marco Polo, and at 530 yards and 14k feet, I shot an Ibex. Both dropped from a height of 5k ft. The whole thing is incredible. br>br>The first one had a Bluetooth problem but was able to fix it. The second one was flawless.
Like the patriots, but hey, if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying. right?.
