[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2667381, member: 94491"] Ok- it's worked well for me . A phone in hand vs a kestrel meter in hand-- seems Like any weather meter is gonna be hand held. Phones or meters can then send solutions to scopes, binos, range finders etc. -- Sigs range finders with weather meters seem to work well too-- in the end-- unless you are running the full SIG scope bdx system you still need to crank dials on a scope too. That's why there are more than one option-- people like different things Op stated he usually only shoots to 150y-- but has the opportunity for a possible 500y shot-- on a cost basis I feel the free or paid app will work well for him for a 1x deal -- he might consider a cheepo weather meter too bit it's not necessary if he can get temps/alt/ wind guesses close... the wind is most likely going to be the biggest factor for him if he has to take that 500 y shot -- don't forget the "uphill/downhill: slope angle too. I feel that around 400yards and further is when variables really start to kick in--300 and under you can "balpark" data and still get good shots. But that's just me-- I put my personal limit on game around 7-800 depending on conditions due to my abilities, gear, and practice distances available to me. Ringing steel is a whole different game. Good luck to the op-- the most important aspect is practice at the distance you intend to limit your shots to. [/QUOTE]
