Is your Kestrel not functioning correctly? You can return it to us at any time for evaluation. Please enter a Repair Request here for EACH Kestrel unit you plan to return and add it to the cart, then check out.

Your order number will be your Return Authorization number - see below for shipping details. No payment is required. If there is a charge for your repair, we will contact you before proceeding further.

For fastest service, please do your best to tell us exactly what problem you are having. Select a problem area from the list, then provide additional detail in the open box. The more detail you provide, the faster we can resolve your problem. Thank you!

Upon receiving your Kestrel, we will troubleshoot the problem or concern. If the concern relates to the accuracy of a measurement, it may be possible for the sensor to be corrected and validated, and some issues are repairable. If your unit is still under our Limited Warranty, it will be repaired or replaced for free and returned to you. If there is any charge for a repair, or if your Kestrel has an unrepairable problem and is no longer under warranty, we will contact you to authorize payment before proceeding further. If your Kestrel is unrepairable, you will have the option of trading it in for a new or upgraded model under our Kestrel Trade-In, Trade-Up Program.

Please note: Be sure to save the data on your meter using the Kestrel Weather App (iOS or Android) or Kestrel Ballistics App (iOS or Android) as all data on your Kestrel unit might be erased during the repair process.
