KESTREL 5700 ELITE A/B
The above named unit is, so far, the very best instrument for determining a proper firing solution.
As discussed in the article, it gives you the most important wind, the wind at your firing position. The "downrange winds" are up to you to determine. And the Kestrel Elite also factors that wind strength and its angle into the ballistics of your round that you have (precisely) entered into its Applied Ballistics software.
If you or your guide/spotter has the time to use the Kestrel Elite your chances for a hit rise tremendously. Of course you will need a very good laser rangefinder. My own choice (for my budget) is the Bushnell ARC 1 Mile 10x binoculars.
If'n I had more cash I'd buy the Leica Geovid HD-R binoculars. For hunting the combination of binoculars and rangefinder means less weight and less fumbling with two tools.
Anyway, I think the state-of-the-art in firing solutions, despite the publicity around the clumsy Tracking Point device, is the Kestrel/AB meter and ballistic engine. A good guide should own one to increase client success. The Kestrel 5700 Elite/AB can do far more than the Tracking Point.
RETICLES-> If you desire to have a similar scope to the TP (that is affordable) you can get the Burris Eliminator III laser scope. It has a very helpful reticle for holding off for wind.
Personally I like the Tremor3 reticle that is specifically designed for holding for wind. Even the H59 reticle in my Bushnell ERS tactical scope has a great "Christmas tree" reticle for holding off for wind.
