hey thatnks a lot

No.

If you spot your impact 1 MIL left, you can hold or dial 1 MIL right to compensate. Same goes for MOA.

But ranging goes something like this...

Height of target in inches x 27.8/Mils read = Distance to target in yards
Height of target in inches x 100 /MOA read = Distance to target in yards



Yes.

MOA is easy for me to remember.
1 MOA at 100yds = 1"
1 MOA at 300yds = 3"
1 MOA at 500yds = 5"
1 MOA at 1000yds = 1000"

It mostly comes down to preference or need. e.g. If you're in the millitary or LE, you might be required to use MIL.

Yep.

And, I was wondering how long it was going to take someone to comment.

Ha, you showed the knowledge previously. So, I knew it was a brain fart.

The sad thing is that I've had similar brain farts in the field albeit not quite that drastic. And, it's real embarassing.

Don't follow much. But, have been to a few games. Much more my speed than the Stars.

Yeah, alot of fun watching. I have season tickets for our boys up here. They make a trip down your way the 13th. Your boys are doing pretty well themselves, again.

dude, go to the Mt shooting sports website, or Gary Marbuts site and check out the Potomac shoots. They hold it every month on a sat. Great fun and a lot of learning. You will shoot with several other guys, most of whom shoot long range. Almost without exception, they will help you with the learning. Ranges from 300 or so, out to about 1300.
