Kestrel Ballistics Masterclass: How to Hit at 1–3 Miles

In this episode, we sit down with Chase Stroud of Pump’s Precision Rifle Training to break down how to properly use a Kestrel ballistic solver for first-round impacts — even past a mile. We cover: • The #1 mistake shooters make with their environment settings • How “dirty air” ruins your wind calls • Why you MUST update density altitude throughout the day • Truing muzzle velocity vs truing ballistic coefficient • Advanced wind angle math (full value, half value, 80% winds) • How mirage distorts elevation • Why most shooters under-hold wind • The difference between holding vs dialing wind • How to “true” wind during a match • Barrel wear and how it affects ballistic performance • Advanced long-range techniques used at 2 miles+ Everything in shooting is deterministic… except wind. Garbage in = garbage out. Learn how to put the right numbers into your solver so you get impacts instead of excuses.
