[QUOTE="Screwey1, post: 892855, member: 74741"] Horus Kestrel 4500NV. No longer must I take into account baro, humidity, elevation or any of the other problems associated with the environment ( except downrange wind ). This little device calculates head wind, tailwind, wind values, baro, humidity, elevation, density altitude, heck even spindrift. There is even a place to enter angle of inclination/declination. It has the ability to store 50 different ballistics or 50 different rifles. This is great for shooting different bullets for practice if you are shooting expensive bullets at game. Has a range card on one screen. Can give shooting solutions in either Mils, SMOA , or TMOA. and as far away as 4000yards. ( Like I am ever going to try that far )You tell it what Latitude you are at and it factors in coriolis. It is waterproof. I have not tested that , but the advertisement claims it is. There are some cons..... Unit is small so it has a small screen. Not so ideal for people with vision issues. Takes batteries. To compensate,I take extra batteries and I also print charts and take them with me. Is expensive, but worth every penny. Seems like a very expensive windmeter until you see what can be done with it. So anyway, that's what I use. [/QUOTE]
