[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1893095, member: 113501"] Practice is critical and I dont get enough. A Kestrel will calculate a firing solution that takes wind in to account but it only measures wind at the Kestrel. That is probably in the boundary layer near the ground while your bullet will be traveling significantly higher and the geography might create wind conditions that vary between the shooting position and the target. If I practiced more, I could make better wind calls, with or without a Kestrel. I could dial my scope a lot better too. Any way, a tool can help you get there but you have to know when to stop relying on it too. [/QUOTE]
