Which ones are people using and how many functions do you really need for shooting inside 1000 yards?

I have a Kestral but seldom use it these days. Be aware that any anemometer is only going to give you the wind speed at your current location.
This is my one. Brought a second hand wind meter/weather meter type. can't recall make and model. it likes to chew batteries tho.

I have it printed and laminated to fit in the lid of my MTM case for the ammo i'm shooting.Quote:

But what the Kestral could provide is Temp and Pressure?
I use my ballistics software function to download that info on my iPhone.Quote:

Just curious if there is a difference and if so, how big is it?
The kestrel 2500 is the one ya need.
I also have applied ballistics on my samsung s4 which has internal temp humidity and pressure sensors which the AB software can load into the relevant fields.
I will see if I can get a screen shot!
No I haven't. I just checked the digital barometer at home and it says it is currently 1021 hpa so there is a marginal variation.
Yep checked it and diference is negligible
It's a pretty compelling case for the S4 that's for sure!!
I have always wondered where the weather station measurements come from when using this program????? local airport??Quote:

The new place that I have set my gongs up at has no reception where I have placed the shooting platform but there is reception at the gate. I have just developed the discipline of downloading when I open the gate. If I was to shoot elsewhere and thought that was going to be an issue I would download while still in coverage.Quote:

How far out do your binos give an accurate ballistic solution to and they will only give you range after that?
HDB gives you custom ballistic solution out to 1000-1015 yards, far enough for shooting animals,Quote:

Its great it gives you that data otherwise you would need a weather station or a flash phone!
