[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1314719, member: 10291"] I don't think it can get much easier then this: A big buck appears. You range him at 800 yards which is a 15 MOA drop. Set turret or use 15 MOA reticle hold Your Kestral indicates a 6 mph wind from 9 o'clock. A quick mental formula; 6mph X 8 = 48. Divide by 20 and you get 2.5MOA for a wind dope of 2 MOA (after correcting for .5 MOA of spin drift). If you wanted to check his antler spread lay your horizontal crosshairs on his antlers. If you got a 4 MOA read he's got 32" of spread(8x4). If your range finder died and you needed a range on a giant mule deer with an 18" chest. Measure him with with your MOA reticle. If he is 3 MOA at the chest, divide 18 by 3 and you get 600 yards. I'm not being facetious, but I would like to hear the easy mathematics for a MIL system the would allow you to do any one of these calculations in your head in the few seconds it takes using MOA.
