[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1893027, member: 79865"] What I have been trying to do is play the old guessing games. How far is it? Wind speed and direction? Then break out the rangefinder and the Kestrel to see how close the guesses are. I don't do that when hunting, but if I am out hiking for work or out to practice I try to see how well I do. Kind of a self calibration type of thing, and it gives me something to do when I'm not collecting data. Pay attention to how things move in the wind where you are and between you and the target. The Kestrel can give you a good indication of conditions where you are, but in order to translate that over distance, you need to adjust based on observations towards the target. [/QUOTE]
