Kestrel 5700 Ballistic Weather Meter with LiNK 0857BLTAN, The Kestrel 5700. This sort of replaced the Sportsman as now a more affordable option.So what's the difference between the 5700 and EliteModel? The Elite has the proprietary Applied Ballistics software. The 5700 has ballistics software but it's not Applied Ballistics. If you want the best get the Elite. If are watching your money more on the expensive sport here is what you need to know about the difference.PRICE:you can upgrade later to theElitefor $300.COLOR: Only available in Tan.LiNK - It only comes with LiNK which is where you'll get any firmware updates.DSF - It does not have Drop Scale Factor so if you are shooting transonic (past 1200 yards) do not get this meter get the Elite. Shooting less than 1200 it won't matter.CUSTOM CURVES- The Elite has custom curves. The 5700 does NOT. People who rely on G1 / G7 rely on what the bullet manufacturer wants you to believe and is on the box. Sometimes this is marketing by the manufacturer. Companies are known to fudge their G7 factors to make it sound better than it is against the competition. The Custom curves have been tested and proven. They are measurements to a specific bullet so there is a lot of value to someone who cares. This has tremendous value which is what costs you $300 more for theElite but will easily save you that in bullets over time.Some have heard of the new Easy Mode. This feature is on both the 5700 and Elite.
