Gun library
There is room in the Kestrel for up to 16 guns. While it
is possible to copy a preconfigured gun to your Kestrel
and modify the parameter, you should use New Gun
and input all the parameters to ensure MV and DSF Cal
are accurately inputted. You can build a gun library on
a computer using the AB Gun Loader software, and
download the new gun library to the Kestrel (either via
Bluetooth® connection or the Kestrel wired interface).
Downloading a new gun library will automatically
overwrite the previous guns in the Kestrel.
*Note: You should upload any user-created guns to the AB
Gun Loader software that you want to save before down-
loading new guns. The new guns will overwrite current
stored Kestrel guns.
