Unlock Your Rifle’s Full Potential with the Kestrel Ballistics 5700X WEZ

In the world of precision shooting, knowing your bullet’s exact trajectory is essential. The Kestrel Ballistics 5700X with WEZ (Weapon Employment Zone) is the latest game-changer for long-range shooting, blending elite-level ballistics technology with tactical practicality. Whether you’re a competitive marksman, a long-range hunter, or a military professional, the 5700X is designed to take your ballistic planning and execution to the next level.

What Makes the Kestrel 5700X WEZ Different?

The 5700X builds upon the proven platform of Kestrel’s trusted ballistic calculators, adding ultra-fast processing, enhanced sensors, and the integrated WEZ analysis tool developed in collaboration with Applied Ballistics.

1. Weapon Employment Zone (WEZ) Analysis

WEZ is a revolutionary feature that lets you analyze the probability of a first-round hit under real-world conditions. By entering variables like target size, range, shooter skill, and environmental conditions, the 5700X calculates hit probability so you can make smarter decisions in the field.

This data-driven approach gives you an edge in competitive and tactical scenarios, helping you identify which shots are worth taking and which ones aren’t.

2. Real-Time Wind Measurement

Wind is the nemesis of precision. With its ultra-sensitive 1.0–40 m/s wind sensor, the 5700X allows for real-time crosswind readings—something a smartphone app can’t replicate. Knowing the wind at your location helps build a more accurate wind call, which is often the difference between a hit and a miss beyond 800 yards.

3. Applied Ballistics Elite Solver

At its core, the 5700X features the Applied Ballistics Elite engine, giving shooters access to a comprehensive bullet library, custom drag models (CDMs), and support for multi-target and multi-gun profiles. It handles spin drift, Coriolis, aerodynamic jump, and more, making it one of the most complete ballistic solutions available.

4. Faster Processing, Better Performance

Compared to older Kestrel units, the 5700X runs faster and handles more complex computations without lag. This is particularly critical when time is short, and conditions are changing rapidly.

5. Wireless Connectivity

The 5700X supports Bluetooth integration with mobile apps and heads-up displays, such as the Garmin Foretrex, allowing for seamless data transfer, profile syncing, and remote control features—all without taking your eyes off the target.

Who Should Use the Kestrel 5700X WEZ?

  • Tactical Professionals: Military and law enforcement snipers who rely on high-confidence shots.
  • Competitive Shooters: PRS, NRL, and ELR competitors needing real-time ballistic validation and decision support.
  • Long-Range Hunters: Where ethical shots depend on precise calculations and accurate environmental readings.
  • Ballistics Nerds & Gear Junkies: Anyone who wants the absolute best in mobile ballistic solutions.

Final Thoughts

The Kestrel Ballistics 5700X WEZ is more than a wind meter—it’s a full-scale, professional-grade fire control system in your pocket. With enhanced performance, detailed WEZ analysis, and top-tier ballistic computation, it empowers shooters to make confident, data-driven decisions.

Whether you’re dialing in a first-round hit at 1,500 yards or training for your next match, the 5700X is an investment that pays off in precision.
