Because not all laser rangefinder manufacturers use the Kestrel Ballistics Bluetooth Protocol to talk to a Kestrel, the Hornady Kestrel cannot communicate with some rangefinders which can talk to our existing ballistics meters. The Hornady Kestrel can currently communicate with the following rangefinders.

• Leica Rangemaster CRF 2800.com, Leica Rangemaster CRF 3500.com, and Leica Geoid 3200.com
• Vectronix Terrapin X and PLRF 25-C
