[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 616738, member: 3756"] Gnats... You're right, who needs to worry about 0.047" difference at 100 yards? though the average size of a gnat is about 0.039". :) Now, 1 MOA = 1.047" at 100 yards and 10.47" at 1000 yards 1 IPHY = 1.000" at 100 yards and 10.00 at 1000 yards Up to now, we would still be thinking about the gnats deal... but know instead of just making a comparison let's get a real world example. Let's say your rifle scope is calibrated in inches, 4 clicks = 1" at 100 yards. now from a ballistic table you know your turret needs to go up 23.2 MOA; take the shot and the big awesome buck just walks away into the timber. What happened? For each 4 clicks you lost 0.049", so... (0.049 X 23.2)=1.137" which at 1000 yards would make a difference of [B]11.37"[/B] allowing you to miss the buck. You needed to come up 24.3 IPHY on your turret instead you came up 23.2 IPHY thinking that a gnat makes no difference and you actually missed by 292 gnats! :) Written in the spirit of helping with a funny twist but very respectfully! Good posts! [/QUOTE]
