I thought it was interesting too. I was suprised it didn't have one of those wind speed and direction sensors.

One *big* problem is the variable delay with the trigger. The wind can
change from moment to moment. Shooting prone with the spotting scope
next to my head, I've had it change enough to cause a 9 on the target
between the time I left the scope and the time when I broke the shot.
That would translate to a clean miss at 1000 yds.
