[QUOTE="Guest, post: 18509"] I for the life of me could not understand who in their right mind would invent such a difficult reticle system as the mildot - having to convert back and forth to MOA and inches and yard, until one day I discovered the Mildot system is based on the metric system, that 1 mil = 10cm at 100 meters, or 20cm at 200m, or 30cm at 300m, etc. Surely everyone has had exposure to the metric system at some point. So now the choice for those who desire to use the mildot is to pick the lesser of the two evils, memorize complex formula's that you need a calculator to figure out, or grab a yard stick (meter stick) and start learning what 10cm looks like, and what 1 meter looks like. Old habits die hard, but if I could learn to shoot on the right side (dominant eye) when I grew up shooting on the left side (as I'm left handed), I figure I could learn the metric system. An added bonus, now I understand what my kids are talking about when they start measuring things. Jay Kyle [/QUOTE]
