[QUOTE="smokepoler, post: 1320343, member: 19618"] I run Applied Ballistics app on my smartphone. It AUTOMATICALLY pulls in all the necessary atmospheric conditions and altitude from the closest weather reporting station through GPS satellites. Generally speaking, this is all you need since wind at long distances in varying terrain is problematic, i.e. where you are standing with a wind meter is pretty much only going to give you where you are standing and not at the target or anywhere in between. I use a Leica 1600. It shows barometer and temperature for software that doesn't pull in the satellite data. In my opinion, there is very little advantage in long range shooting to buying an uber expensive rangefinder when you can do the same thing for one half the price. I've used AB in South Africa and it pulled in the atmospheric conditions and altitude from the GPS satellites and crunched the ballistic numbers enough to make many long range shots. As an aside, the only thing the Kestrel gives you over AB on a smartphone is wind where you are standing. [/QUOTE]
