5.0 out of 5 stars Kestrel for Ballistic Data, July 6, 2011

This is an excellent tool for the long range shooter. I combine it with a pda device with the my ballistics program [...]. There are combined weather/ballistics computers from Kestrel for just a little more. You would not get better data from that kestrel just the convenience of one device. I personally prefer the G7 inputs and data output. I have used this almost daily now for several months and I highly reccomend this product for this particular application.

A least a few times each year we get high winds at our house. I wanted a wind gauge but didn't want to install a complicated weather station, plus a lot of those had bad reviews. The Kestrel 3000 is really nice to just take outside and point into the wind to get wind speed, chill factor, humidity, etc. Compact and portable. I would have given it 5 stars if was just a little faster at showing a temperature change. It's just not as instant as I thought it would be.
