[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1013790, member: 54178"] Coldbore, The Trimble Nomad is ONLY a ballistic computer that [U]accepts[/U] other environmental parameters but does not sense them and automatically compute for their effect. The Kesrel 4500 /AB combo is a ballistic computer [I]and [/I]weather station [I]and[/I] internal compass that, with your distance input, gives you THE most complete firing solution and all without entering anything but ranging (once you enter your ballistics at home). * Just one example of the Kestrel 4500's sensing and computing is wind calculation. 1st-> Read the full wind at your position. 2nd-> Read the wind angle and force while you point the impeller at your target. Those two readings are calculated give you a true wind effect, not a "guestimated" effect of "probable" wind angle on your bullet. Then there is corollas effect, spin drift and several other factors that the unit accurately senses and enters into the final computation. If the Trimble Nomad does all that I stand both corrected and amazed. [/QUOTE]
