    Be interesting to see what suggestions you get Steven

    IMO wind meters are not worth the money... They can only tell you what the wind is at the shooting position, not halfway to the target or at the target, where it really matters

    They are good for confirming your wind estimation skills..., but between flags, vegetation and mirage there is a lot of info out there.

    There is an iPhone app that uses microphone noise to calculate wind speed, must be an android version out there as well, not sure how accurate though.

    That's why I ordered one last week, from dx.com

    I would have no idea how to estimate wind speed so I figured this would help me learn.

    They're very cheap, around 10 bucks from memory
