[QUOTE="504TMS, post: 2099975, member: 117296"] I’m not a fan of a Kestrel — in my view it sets an awkward reliance upon technology. You have to learn to read windage across the ballistic arc, and not assume wind at the shooting position is consistent to target. The other elements of a ballistic calculator, while helpful, are not essential, or at least, not a substitute for experience. On the other hand, a Leica rangefinder or pair of range finding binoculars is essential. Since I’m not concerned about connecting with a Kestrel, and don’t see much value in trying to hit a buck at near 3500 yards, the less expensive and reliable Leica CRF 2800 fits the Bill nicely. If my retirement checks were much larger, I’d agree that a pair of Leica rangefinder binoculars would be lovely, but again, what price glory? [/QUOTE]
