Kestrel 4500: wind speed & direction
Measuring Wind
For wind speed, use Screen 1 of your Kestrel. For wind direction, press Shift + K to display the wind direction indicator.
For an accurate wind reading, face directly into the wind (the arrow in the top left corner will be vertical, pointing down).
Ensure no obstructions are present to ensure accurate wind speed readings.
Wind speed will always be entered in the “Wind Speed (m/s)” field labelled “1”, representing wind speed at the shooting position. For field “2” input the same value as field “1”.
Interpreting Direction
The AtragMX accepts wind direction in clock direction values as read when facing the target. See Wind: reading direction FM/BG-576 for further guidance. The determined clock direction value will be manually entered into the “Wind Direction (clock)” field in the AtragMX as depicted below.
