[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 655113, member: 5302"] No, not in the shooting sports for sight adjustment purposes. But I do accept the fact that it's not 1.00 inch per hundred yards for other angular measurements using trigonometric functions. I can deal with three different amounts for a mile; a nautical mile being exactly 1,852 metres or almost exactly2025.3678... yards and a statute mile being exactly 5,280 feet or exactly 1,760 yards. Then there's the US Navy radar mile of exactly 2000 yards which was used for decades to simplify ranges used for both navigation and weapon systems. [/QUOTE]
