Minutes-of-Angle (MOA) and inches: the difference is easy to ignore at 100 yards, impossible to ignore at 1,000.(OPTICS)Gottfredson, Jacob
Now that you know that 1” is 1 MOA at 100 yards, the math is simple to determine what it would be at any range. You take inches divided by yards times 100. So if you are off by 2” at 200 yards it would be: (2”/200 yards) * 100 = 1 MOA. It will work for any number...
In other words, there are 4 “clicks” to 1 MOA. Rounded off (as it often is) that’s .25” at 100 yards and 2.5 inches at 1,000 yards. Mil, likewise, is also broken down into smaller segments. Each Mil is divided into tenths, with each click value equal to .36” at 100 ...
MIL dot scope reticles have hash marks or dots on the crosshairs representing one MIL at 100 yards. You must remember that 1 MIL at 100 yards equals 3.6 inches. One MOA at one hundred yards equals 1.04 inches. That is a large difference in the world of long-range shooting....
Therefore, you may shoot close to or dead on your target at closer ranges like 100 yards and then see you're shooting way too low at 500 yards. The measurement in inches of where you were aiming and where the bullet hits is called bullet drop. ...
20-inch bullet drop / 2 inches (1 MOA is 2 inches at 100 yards) = 10 MOA With your MOA adjustments, you can hit that target more precisely. All you have to do now is carry it to one more equation to make the MOA adjustments with the top turret. ...
Instead of 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, and 1760 yards in a mile, you have much easier 100 centimeters to a meter and 1000 meters to a kilometer, and that’s basically it when it comes to the metric math. Now, much of this doesn’t matter much either way because we...
