[QUOTE="THEIS, post: 1303355, member: 99239"] Hello, Crash Course Version :) Trash the thought of a "mil" being a unit of distance!! It is a unit of conical/angular measurement. 1/6400 of a degree in angular measure. That’s 3.6 inches at 100 yards, or 3 feet at l,000 yards. So to answer your "5 inch" question in regards to how many .1 mils adjustment..it would depend on the target distance in which a 5 inch adjustment needed to be made. Mil systems will be easier for you once you start referring to the "adjustments" you need to make to change POI in terms of mils and not inches. Lets say you are shooting a target at 100 yards and you are missing the center by 1 mil (3.6 inches as you call it), you would then either do a 1 mil hold or you would adjust your scope turret by 1 mil which is as you call it "10 clicks" THEIS [/QUOTE]
