    Seems OK, gives similar wind readings to my mates Kestrel 3500. I have made some tricky shots in the wind with it. The last one was the spiker I shot at 634yds ( I posted the video of that shot on here http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...er-video-3923/). Most of your ability to hit in the wind is what you do with the wind reading, not what it actually is. Inside 600 yds being a few mph out won't make much difference.
    The best shot have made in the wind (with this wind meter) I had to allow for a strong head wind from 2 o'clock, but also had to allow for the lift generated by the wind as it blew up the slope towards me. From memory it was a 450ish yd shot on a pig, hit it exactly where I was aiming.
