Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tango 4000 and what are its main features?

The Tango 4000 is an advanced ballistic calculator and laser rangefinder. It integrates with devices like Kestrels for environmental data, calculates ballistic solutions, and offers features like velocity truing and BC adjustment for accuracy.

How does the Tango 4000 integrate with Kestrel devices?

The Tango 4000 can link to Kestrel wind meters to pull environmental data. Users can choose to have the Tango 4000 process this data internally or use the Kestrel as the primary source for calculations.

What is the importance of adjusting Ballistic Coefficient (BC) and velocity with the Tango 4000?

Adjusting BC and velocity is crucial for achieving accurate ballistic solutions. The BC on ammunition boxes is often an average, and actual velocity can vary, requiring users to 'true' these values based on field data for precise shooting.

What are the compatibility limitations of the Tango 4000?

The Tango 4000 does not directly work with Kestrel HUDs. When linked to the Quantum app, it primarily functions as a rangefinder and may overwrite other settings. It also cannot link to the Garmin Tactix 7 watch for readouts.

What is the price and value proposition of the Tango 4000?

Priced at $1,500, the Tango 4000 is considered a significant investment but offers substantial value for serious long-range shooters by combining advanced rangefinding and ballistic calculation capabilities in one unit.
