Kestrel Windmeter?

I am looking for a Kestrel windmeter that will measure all atmospheric conditions that affect a bullet's flight path so that I can plug the values into Exbal for a Pocket PC. I was looking at the Kestrel 2500 model. Basically, I want to spend as little as possible to get the features I need.

Re: Kestrel Windmeter?

This is the one I use:


It's a Skymaster SM-28 Much less expensive and it has it all!

Doing a search I found THIS SITE Usually they're around $145.00 bucks. Be cautious!

I also use this one,

The only thing this one does not have is Humidity readings, but I like it a bunch because it will give you all else in a very small package. This one is always on, if you keep it in the right setting that saves battery, it'll run for a full year on a single battery. That's awesome. Good luck!
Man! right now Sierra Trading post has an unbeatable sale on this little fellow, from $160.00 down to $69.96

The 2500 is what I have. Works great. The only thing it doesn't measure is the humidity. Most of the time a guy can guess that pretty close anyway though.

$69.96?? Where? I see them listed for $99 but see nothing about a $69. Help please if I'm not looking in the right place...I've been wanting one of those little buggers.

Re: Kestrel Windmeter?

Dan B,
Sorry my friend, I went check it out for you they went back up to $99.95. Sorry! I'll have to call my hunting buddy and tell him not to go by after work because of the price change. Still $99.95 is not a bad price!
