[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 882197, member: 63748"] I can relate completely to what you are saying. Sometimes we go round and round to get to where we want to go. Air Density. As far as I am aware weather station locations provide barometric pressure readings for their location. To calibrate your Kestrel you need this barometric pressure and altitude information, assuming you are in the vicinity of the station. Once your Kestrel is calibrated you can set the parameters to your liking for your ballistics engine. Baro + altitude + temp+ humidity=Station pressure+temp+humidity=DA=air density. Obviously air density is the "beast" we are after. Some methods above take more inputs for a particular ballistics program to compute the air density equivilant, other less. It's ultimately up to the user and I agree less is better. That's why I use DA in a 4000 series Kestrel. [/QUOTE]
