[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1905592, member: 105322"] Here is how most MOA shooters think: "My drop is 40 inches...so, at this distance that is about 8.5moa. So, that means 34 clicks...1,2,3,4".....a couple minutes later, a shot rings out. The proper way: "At this distance, my drop is 8.5moa" ...(looking at numbers on scope, turns to the "8" then counts 2 more)... a shot rings out a few seconds later. Mils is exactly the same process: "My drop at this distance is 2.2mils"...(looks at numbers on turret, and dials to the "2" and two more clicks)...a shot rings out a few seconds later. The exact same process is used for wind. It's the [B][I]angle[/I][/B], not the linear measurement. The mental block with shooters using MILS is most often the fact that they never learned to properly use MOA. It isn't thier fault. When you have a duplex reticle, and a scope with no numbers on the turrets, you [B][I]HAVE[/I][/B] to do it the way in the first example above. But we now have scopes now with good reticles, good turrets, and the turrets match the reticles. [/QUOTE]
