[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1941754, member: 105322"] You made my point. When the spotter is giving an inch correction based on the known target size (in inches) he is, in effect giving you a call based on a fractional target reference. (e.g. "I know the target is 8" and that miss was just off the right edge, so hold 4" (1/2 target) left"). There is no math going on in that scenario, regardless of the system being used. The exact same technique is easily applied in both systems, so the scenario outlined in the article ([URL]https://alphamunitions.com/just-a-minute-of-angle/[/URL]) mentioned above, is a fantasy construct. It creates a contrived and unlikely scenario to make the author's point of view seem logical. In the article, he says he is shooting at a 12inch [B][I]moving[/I][/B] target at 600 yards, his spotter gives the correction in inches (6inch above the target)... so the author then does the quick math...decides he [B][I]needs to dial[/I][/B] 2moa down, [B][I]on a moving target[/I][/B]...and bingo!...gets the hit. If the author knew the target was 12 inches, and the miss was 6 inches high...[B][I]again,on a moving target[/I][/B]...why didn't he just hold bottom edge and let fly? [/QUOTE]
