Ballistic watch

#1 Post by MetalMagus »

Hi folks,
Thinking of getting a Garmin Foretrex 710 ballistic watch. Does anyone use one and have any feedback on them, good or bad. To complete the set I would also need a wind speed meter. Is Kestrel the only one worth a look.

Thanks for any info

I haven't looked at them seriously as they are not allowed to be used in the competitions I shoot.
But I would be interested in the responses too. Are they a good buy for range use with the known distances or more for field use?

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.

I've no experience with that ballistic watch but i have the Strelok ballistic app on my phone. The app doesn't cost that much. As for wind speed I have a Skywatch made by JDC however the model I have is discontinued (I bought it on ebay) and on my phone I have the Ventusky app. Ventusky gives you current wind speed and direction at your location plus temperature and air pressure.


ETA there are several pre-owned Skywatches currently on ebay
