We had the chance to get the Wind Zero system setup for the last PR7 class here at Gunsite. If you have not yet seen this, jump over to Wind Zero and have a look. This is going to make a huge difference in training clients is the fine art of reading wind. We placed sensors out at 300 and 600, had students focus at each range and read mirage, then compare that to the ACTUAL wind value. No more guessing, then having another student hold 'something' and shoot. Now you have a precision instrument giving you the actual wind value and direction, not tainted by the hold your shooter may or may not be using. This is an unmatched training tool.
As soon as the weather cooperates with my schedule, I'm going to make some videos of the mirage at range, along with the actual values. I plan to use those in class, and we will publicly post some to show the system in action. I expect this to make a big difference in the XLR class, where we can put three sensors on on the target line for all three ShotMarker targets to make calibration easier than ever.
I'm having talks with Doug about having the data from the receiver stream via USB and/or BT directly into the wind zones in Field Firing Solutions, thereby producing instant accurate wind solutions at distance. The military project is coming closer to reality, so we are actively working on the port of FFS to Android right now.
