I have been thinking about the pros and cons of picking up a Kestrel with Bluetooth or not. This will be used with FFS on a Nomad. I am curious to hear others inputs on the subject.
The way I operate is I check the DA at random intervals but keep my PDA handy. I doubt I would ever keep my Kestrel out and on during a shooting trip since I rarely shoot on a square range and having the Kestrel baking in the sun while on the ground will give me inaccurate results. My other concern is turning on and off Bluetooth each time on the Nomad and using more battery life on both devices to run the BT. I do see the benefit for those that can set a Kestrel on a tripod with the wind vane but most of what I do is gauge wind direction and speed via other methods and usually use the Kestrel at the FFP for a double check.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
