[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2144410, member: 3230"] That is true, but it is easier to think of a milliradian as 1/1000 of the distance to the target (a radian is pretty huge). Thus, a mil is one yard or 36" at 1000 yards, or 3.6" at 100. I don't know too many people that think of an animal's vital area in metric units, including me. My goal is to land my bullet within 5" of my point of aim; at 500 yards, I know I better hit within .25 mils (okay, 2.77 to be exact). So your point about applying them to imperial units is spot on.
