Mile High Shooting Accessories carries the full Vortex Relay lineup, including the Impact 4000 rail-mounted rangefinder, Talon HD 10K rangefinding binoculars, and Ace Ballistic Weather Meter. The Relay system connects these devices through Bluetooth to share ballistic, environmental, and positional data in real time, producing firing solutions through the integrated GeoBallistics solver without requiring a separate phone or tablet at the shooting position.
The Relay ecosystem currently includes three product categories, and Mile High Shooting carries all of them. Each device works as a standalone tool, but the system is designed so that connecting multiple Relay products produces a more complete ballistic picture than any single device can provide on its own.
The Impact 4000 mounts directly to any Picatinny rail, giving shooters a weapon-mounted ranging solution with a maximum reflective range of 4,000 yards and a minimum range of 5 yards. It features a 1.3-inch LCD display, on-board temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, and compass sensors, and a built-in GeoBallistics solver that calculates wind and elevation holdovers in real time. The unit ships with a Bluetooth remote control so the shooter can trigger a range reading from the firing position without breaking cheek weld. It supports 10 preset ballistic profiles and can store additional custom configurations.
The Talon HD 10K combines premium HD optics with a rangefinder capable of reaching 10,000 yards on reflective targets. The 12x50 ranges trees at up to 4,200 yards and deer-sized game at 2,600 yards, while the 10x42 reaches 4,000 yards on trees and 2,400 yards on deer-sized game. Both models include on-board environmental sensors, an integrated GeoBallistics solver, digital map pin-dropping, and Relay connectivity. The 10x42 is lighter and more compact with a wider field of view, while the 12x50 provides higher magnification and a larger objective for improved light gathering at dawn and dusk.
The Ace is Vortex's handheld ballistic weather station. It measures wind speed and direction through a built-in impeller, along with temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, compass bearing, and inclination angle. The full-color LCD screen displays real-time firing solutions calculated by the integrated GeoBallistics solver. It runs on two AA batteries, supports 10 pre-built ballistic profiles, and connects to other Relay devices via Bluetooth to feed atmospheric data directly into the Impact 4000 or Talon HD 10K.
Each Relay device can generate ballistic solutions independently, but the system's strength is in the data sharing between devices. When connected, the devices form a closed Bluetooth network that passes environmental readings, range data, and target information automatically.
In a typical Relay setup, the Ace Weather Meter feeds live wind, temperature, pressure, and humidity readings to the Impact 4000 or Talon HD 10K. The rangefinder contributes distance and angle data. The GeoBallistics solver on the receiving device combines all inputs and presents a firing solution on its display. This eliminates the need to manually enter environmental conditions or reference a separate phone app while shooting.
All three Relay products use the GeoBallistics ballistic engine, which draws from a comprehensive bullet library covering factory and custom projectile data. The solver accounts for atmospheric conditions, spin drift, Coriolis effect, and aerodynamic jump to produce holdover and windage corrections. Ballistic profiles can be configured on the device or through the GeoBallistics smartphone app and synced via Bluetooth.
The Impact 4000 is a ballistic laser rangefinder that mounts to any standard Picatinny rail section on the rifle's forend or scope mount. It ranges reflective targets out to 4,000 yards and includes on-board environmental sensors and a GeoBallistics solver for real-time firing solutions. A Bluetooth remote control is included so the shooter can trigger ranging without removing their hand from the rifle.
The Ace uses the GeoBallistics solver while Kestrel units use Applied Ballistics; both produce comparable firing solutions. The Ace has a noticeably larger full-color LCD screen, runs on standard AA batteries, and integrates directly with other Vortex Relay devices via Bluetooth. Kestrel units typically operate as standalone devices. The Ace is slightly larger in physical dimensions than the Kestrel 5700 Elite but offers larger buttons and simpler menu navigation.
The Talon HD 10K can range reflective targets out to 10,000 yards on both models. The 12x50 reaches approximately 4,200 yards on trees and 2,600 yards on deer-sized game, while the 10x42 reaches 4,000 yards on trees and 2,400 yards on deer-sized game. The minimum ranging distance is approximately 10 yards.
Yes. All Relay products sync with the GeoBallistics smartphone app via Bluetooth for profile setup, data transfer, and firmware updates. The GeoBallistics app provides access to a comprehensive bullet library and allows shooters to build and edit ballistic profiles that are then pushed to the devices. Once configured, the devices operate independently without requiring the phone.
