Re: Handheld wind meters
I have a Kestrel 2500, which I bought over a year ago. It's a nice device, well made and with a good display. It has a anemometer, thermometer, etc.
I used it for a little while as it was fun to see at what speed the wind was blowing. Then I discovered that it was sort of useless for LR shooting, the flags downrange were more important. So, for competition at known distances, I have no need for it. It stays in my shooting box and doesn't come out any more. Maybe if I kept a more detailed log of my scores, I would want to put in exact temperature, barometric pressure, etc, but I don't; I just keep score, elevation and general conditions.
