Sniper shoot- good review for Kestrel
Edit: The Kestrel 4000 mentioned in this post has since been replaced by the Kestrel 5000. But, for those using it for long-range shooting, Kestrel now has a line of Kestrel Meters exclusively for long-range shooting.
Thank you Kestrel for making such a great product that has always aided our training in long-range shooting. The Kestrel 4000 Pocket Weather Tracker was ergonomic and very effective while I, personally, used it on multiple deployments as an active duty Sniper with 1st Recon BN. Later, I contracted with the O'Gara Group as a Sniper Instructor, where we used the Kestrel to teach students how to not only read wind, but also how to adjust their data for changes in barometric pressure, altitude, and temperature. Any "true" long-range shooter understands that shooting for hard data will always beat a ballistic's chart, but in order to calculate how their data will vary with changes in altitude, barometric pressure, temperature, and winds your product has been proven to be the most useful tool. I currently own and operate my own company V X Marksmanship, a firearm training academy in Ft. Worth, TX. I am still using the same Kestrel 4000 that was given to me while I was on active duty, and it's still providing accurate data for my students today. Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
