[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 3087884, member: 97050"] Some binos you can get wind data from the kestrel if you want to use both. I've been using the kestrel elite since it was commercially available, including for hunting. If you take that long of shots that it matters then it's great. Like any tool you have to know how to use it. That includes the wind functions, but there's a ton of other stuff in there, and not all the math that's in there meets reality. There’s also the issue of set up time. If you only have 4 seconds to drop pack and set up for a 900y shot in Wyoming wind, you never had a shot. One of the other benefits of using the elite is I have all my custom drag curves there. They tend to be more accurate then using BCs, and the tuning out to the end of the bullets stability I find easier and quicker. [/QUOTE]
