[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 58991, member: 3"] Background: 1 mil = 3.6 inches at 100 yards. 100 (yards) / 3.6 (inches) = 27.77 (ratio) A 72 inch tall man standing 200 yards away is 10 mil tall. To use the mil ranging formula you need target size (in inches) and the number of mils the target subtends. Our 6 ft man (72 inches) subtends 10 mils. 72 / 10 = 7.2 7.2 x 27.77 = 199.94 yards away So, size of target in inches / number of mils subtended equals the number of inches between the mildots. We then take the number of inches between the mildots for the target we just measured and ratio that back to 100 yards using the 3.6" per Mil @ 100 yard standard value of 27.77. [/QUOTE]
