[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2349960, member: 118816"] People are placing entirely too much trust in a Kestrel. It cannot read the wind anywhere but where you are currently standing, much less 600 or 1000 yards away, nor the way the terrain changes wind direction between the firing point and the target. While I am old and maybe the courses of fire that I participated in are now equally old I cannot feature shooting a 600 or 1000 yard match without feedback from the pits (Or maybe there are no longer pits. Did people get freaked out with the sound of supersonic bullets flying overhead) Back in the good old days each shot was spotted not only for you to keep score but to let you know how the wind, weather and mirage (Just to name a few) acted on the bullet in flight. How does it now happen that you can shoot an entire match with displaced groups. Inquiring minds want to know? [/QUOTE]
