If there is wind coming from one direction, that will change your lead based on my experience. We had a L to R wind so when the target was heading right, the hold was on the target as the wind would carry it to hit the target on its way. If the target was moving R to L, then we needed the correct lead (~1 MIL for us that day) in order to impact the target. Just wanted to mention because there was essentially no wind in the example shown in the video.
Thanks Dave for watching and for the comment! I typically dial wind on these stages.. then if you dial wind in I've found that it works out that the lead should be the same either direction.
Thanks! I'm not aware of any way to calculate the angle that a mover might be moving. My initial thought would be to range both end points and see if it were moving away or toward you in order to get an approximate estimate as to whether you would need to hold more or less elevation. Most movers I have seen on PRS stages are moving predominantly horizontally and not forward/backward. I've missed plenty off the side, but rarely missed them high or low.
Game changing. I had no idea this was in the sub menu on the 5700, let alone that you can use it to calculate. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
For those of us that shoot PRS, this really is a great, educational video. Good job man
Thanks! Glad it's helpful.
Thanks! I had been wondering how to do this since starting PRS.
Glad it helps!

@@Engage1 thank you for the video and response. I’ll have to try that next time to see if I like it better 👍
Very informative vid... is it possible to calculate the angle of a mover using kestrel 5700?
Thanks
