"I would like to thank you and the rest of the Kestrel team for the opportunity to take part in this class. In one word it was awesome. It clarified so many things that I had only learned through my own study of the user manual, online videos and forum posts. This experiment has given me a lot of confidence in using my 5700 Elite efficiently and correctly to its full potential. I look forward to using it more in the future."

"I did this course yesterday and just wanted to give some feedback to benefit others. This was a great course given by Katie and crew at Kestrel. I learned so many more things about how Applied Ballistics software is integrated with the Kestrel 5700 Elite and what the 5700 Elite is truly capable of both on its own, with the Kestrel phone app and in conjunction with a compatible laser range finder.
It put together everything I had previously learned watching Youtube videos, reading the user manual and in discussions here on the Hide. I highly recommend that anyone even remotely interested in acquiring a 5700 Elite, takes this class. No excuses - it's FREE."
