I'm looking for the CHEAPEST not the most CONVIENIENT way to purchase all these and have the ability to take accurate readings for shooting. Later on I will get a Kestrel or something nice like that.

Anemometer, Thermometer= $20.00
I was advised that the Caldwell Wind Wizard was good enough

Barometer, Hygrometer= $30.00
Anybody have any advise on something cheap that will read accurately?
What about something like this... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003N3C8JW/?tag=lrhmag19-20

The main thing is I just want it to read actual and not receive signal from weather station or something like that.

What do y'all use for Hygrometer and Barometer (by y'all I mean...those less fortunate:D)

Oh yeah and same for a GPS (basic handheld...saves waypoints...that's all)
Thanks

I say get a Skymaster for $120, it'll do all you need. A gps is handy for marking points, plus I don't use the altitude setting on a weather unit that measures it off of the BP and a gps will give you a more accurate altitude reading. I have a cheap $90 gps from WalMart and a Garmin Rhino that cost about 3 times as much. The Rhino never gets used, the cheapy is a lot more user friendly. I used it as a backup in Iraq on a couple deployments.
 
you can do it cheaper, with multiple instruments, but there's nothing quite as good as a single unit that will provide all the atmospheric data you need. A buddy of mine has a couple of instruments and when we get together, rather than mess with gear, he relies on my kestrel.

$200 might be a lot of money, but worth every dime...
