Omni-Directional Windtronic 2 Wind Meter
If you want to win shooting matches you’ll need to gauge wind speed and direction. While many shooters use the excellent Kestrel line of pocket Weather Trackers, many top shooters are turning to the Windtronic 2, a German-made unit that measures wind speeds from any direction.
The Windtronic features rotating cups mounted on a vertical axis. With this design you don’t have to align the unit with the wind, unlike the Kestrel WindMeter or SpeedTech WindMate™ devices. Many users feel the Windtronic’s unique design allows it to read wind speeds more accurately; it certainly can respond to shifting winds more easily. The omni-directional functionality of the Windtronic allows it to be mounted on a stand or tripod and continuously display current wind speed, max wind speed, and average velocity.
The Windtronic 2 doesn’t guage temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, or density altitude, unlike the more advanced (and expensive) Kestrel 4000/4500 model pocket weather trackers. The Windtronic only records wind speeds, but it does that one task exceptionally well.
Made in Germany by Kaindl Electronics, the Windtronic 2 comes with a 2-year manufacturers warranty and normally retails for $99.00 on Amazon.com. Other dealers include Windtronic.us and Windpowersports.com.

Sounds like a neat device for measuring wind speed at a distance visible by the reader (for example, at your bench or shooting position). However, I need to know what the wind is doing in places other than where I’m located. For instance … at yardage intervals down range. That’s where a set of good wind flags come in.

I’m intetested.
I located a deal on this item at hobby-lobby.com for $59.90. In the search window in the right upper corner enter ke421. Less than $65.00 shipped.
EDITOR: Shipped to California the Hobby-Lobby.com price was just under $70.00 delivered.
But, that is still less than our group price. My advice to all you who expressed interest in the group buy, contact hobby-lobby.com which is apparently selling these units at wholesale cost.
