[QUOTE="WildcatB, post: 222143, member: 10379"] I think MOA math is easier for ranging. Just take the size of target and divide by the number of MOA's it's subtends then multiply by 100. So say you see a mule deer, which average 18" from bottom of chest to top of back, and this measures 3.7 MOA's in your scope. Divide 18 by 3.7. You get 4.86. Your range is 486 yards. Of course, the farther the animal, the less accurate it becomes. If your rangefinder is forgotten back in the truck, this method would work in a pinch. If you have a good drop chart and rangefinder... then I think both work equally well. [/QUOTE]
