[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 897137, member: 61747"] Good for you to try though right. I try and judge the wind throughout the time in the field without the Kestrel, then I check it to varify. I will notice all sort of things changing if I use my senses vs the gadget. That doesn't mean I am good at it, I just try and judge it without the aid. For example last weekend I shot at 880 and then 985. Opposite directions E and W. While shooting the 985, I adjusted for spin, and 0 mph wind. I was shooting across a lake and up the mountain. My first shot was dead on, then the second one went about 8" left. I stood up and felt the breeze on my face. Wind changed to 3 mph. .6 MOA right should have been the hold. Sent the next round, dead on, then the wind was gone. 3 mph wind at that distance was good for a 6" off the mark. Kind of amazing such a small variation can have such a large affect. [/QUOTE]
