[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 796118, member: 13632"] My Kestrel is as important for my long range shooting as my range finder and ballistic solution, how else would a guy define what the wind is doing to the flight path of his bullet. I know you can fling a lot of lead down range and I do that as well but I do it while taking many wind readings and combine that with observations of the terrain and the info one cold bore shot and one corrected follow up shot show me, then when I'm back in the same spot taking game I have a solid base line to make my correction on for a cold bore kill. There is no other way to get a defined base line for how the wind is affecting the bullet path, we don't wing it when getting a range and I don't see why trying to perfect your windage would be any different! Owned several Caldwell and other cheaper wind meters and it's better to just save the money and buy the Kestrel!! [/QUOTE]
