Ep. 169 | Kestrel - Wind, Weather and Ballistics in the Palm of your Hand

[@ribbit1964]

That was soooo much fun - completely nerding out - thanks!

[@brenn330]

Ton of info. Need to get a kestrel

[@steffen707-]

Jimmy, at 44:13 you're talking about the hud, when is vortex just coming out with a range finding rifle scope that has a second focal plane HUD to tell you what to adjust the scope to? @Vortex Nation Podcast

[@steffen707-]

And then add a servo motor auto dialer to the elevation turret, bam instant sniper. =)

[@VortexNation]

That would be pretty awesome. At this time there are no plans for something like that, but we'll definitely pass it along to our team in new product development! We appreciate it, Steffen!

[@marks5757]

Love this podcast. So glad I found it, and your scopes for that matter

[@CQCMachine]

"Jimmy, when's the last time you had a desk pop?" "Septemberrrr...08"

[@eliasbonilla8087]

Good stuff thank you

[@rvrski1]

This sounds awesome and I love Tech but the near 6k Aus for the Fury AB/5700x marriage will take some saving....

[@tychiglo3682]

Mr. Rubin with the passive-aggressive comment about Texas😂 We as Texans didn’t deserve that😂😂😂

[@wadeanders4579]

TEXAS!! Still the best country in the USA!

[@homerleong9081]

I ordered a Fury HD 7 months ago from Optic Plant and haven’t received it yet. Are they problems with production?

[@ssswdon]

Does it count I was a coxin in the Coast guard?

[@steveh1792]

A knot is 1.15 miles per hour (we pilots use knots, too). So 100 mph is about 87 knots.

[@Wyo2Wis]

1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour.

[@OmeStepAheadOfTheDevil667]

Why not showing the solution direct in the scope ?

[@blakelylochridge9138]

Let’s see some straight pull action discussion

[@joelclark2130]

Now only if they had a Kestrel with a chronograph.

[@Wyo2Wis]

The Kestrel company now owns MagnetoSpeed.

[@TheEDCTribe]

Aaaaaaand kestrel purchased

[@Kaotix_music]

She's worked there how long and she's never done a desk pop!?!?

[@TrueOpinion99]

I subscribe to the Ryan Cleckner train of thought on ballistic calculators: they're great tools, but they're too easy to become dependent upon; ballistic calculators are theoretical, and nothing will beat good fundamentals while sending a bullet downrange and writing things down.

[@Wyo2Wis]

Frank Galli says basically the same thing. Fundamentals!

[@johnstewart2011]

It’s a common misconception that the speed of sound varies with the altitude (above/below sea level). The speed of sound is actually dependent only upon the type of gas (air is one type that consists of several gases) and its temperature. The altitude per se does not affect the speed. The reason there are tables showing different speeds is because the “standard” temperature changes with altitude and that’s what is actually affecting the speed. If the actual temperature is the same at different altitudes, the speed of sound will be the same. A NASA site that discusses it: www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/sound.html
