[QUOTE="Oryx_Official, post: 2599105, member: 120307"] After reading through this [URL='https://www.amazon.ca/Wind-Book-Rifle-Shooters-Conditions/dp/1510739726/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2C8YCNPD5OFPZ&keywords=wind+book+for+rifle+shooters&qid=1660585336&sprefix=wind+book+for+rifle+shooter%2Caps%2C576&sr=8-1'][U]Wind book for rifle shooters[/U][/URL] , it describes the wind happening at your location as the most important wind reading you can make because of the angle of deflection it will cause the bullet. Regardless of the situation, you still need to know the wind at your location and along the path of the bullet. Plenty of sport shooters use kestrels to calculate shots at longer distances than most would take hunting, and, up in the mountains or over varied terrain. If I can use a kestrel for that, it will definitely work for hunting. Also, a kestrel is a great tool to learn how to read winds.
