[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2268857, member: 118823"] First off I want to say that I understand everyones methods on here. I also agree full blown metrics is easiest to work with. The OP's question still involves this dirty little 2.75" that still has to come into play somewhere. You could take the 2.75" times 2.54 to convert that to CM which is approximately 7 CM. (still need calculator) Now you still have 63meters(cheating yards into meters) so 1 mil at 63 M = .063M. = 6.3CM (more conversion) So then 1 click is a tenth of that .63CM. So now you can divide 7 CM by .63 to get 11.11 clicks. [SIZE=6]OR[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]1) Pretend you are at 100 yards. 2.75" divided by .36" per click = 7.64 clicks @ 100 yards(Had to use calculator) 2) Next multiply by 100 so you get 764 (no calculator needed).[/SIZE] 3) divide by yardage 764 divided by 63 = 12.12 clicks One method says 11 clicks the other says 12 which way is most accurate?(difference is probably in the .36" click @ 100 or the 2.54cm per inch conversion, or the cheating 63 yards into 63M) Me being a math teacher and trying to come up with ways students can remember how and also figure in least amount of math(less mistakes) I like the second way. Less to remember..... 100/63 or 100/ 200 or 100/789 will get you a conversion factor. 100/63 = 1.587(takes 1.587 times more clicks at 63 than 100) Doing it this way woulod require writing down the 1.587. Then taking the 2.75"/.36" to get 7.64 clicks at 100. now take the 1.587 times 7.64=12.12 clicks The three steps listed above after the big OR are probably the fastest and never need to clear calculator. Simplest way to write this is 2.75/.36*100/63= 12 clicks (do in order from left to right) [/QUOTE]
