[QUOTE="Moman, post: 200016, member: 10494"] I'm pretty new to the MOA concept as well but what is helping me is to just consider MOA as 1" @ 100 yds. I am using this initially just to help me understand the concept. Yes I understand that 1.047 is technically correct, but that will come in time. When you adjust your scope 1 MOA, that moves your point of impact 1" @ 100 yds. That same 1 MOA adjustment moves your POI 2" @ 200 yds, 6" @ 600 yds, etc. So the way I understand it is moving your scope 56 MOA would be 56" @ 100 yds. If you needed to adjust for a bullet drop of 2" @ 100 yds, that would be 2 MOA. If you needed to adjust for a bullet drop of 2" @ 200 yds, that would only be a 1 MOA adjustment. I hope this helps to get you started. Maybe someone like Shawn will chime in and give us all a quick lesson. [/QUOTE]
