[QUOTE="Brent, post: 10169, member: 99"] Moving the decimal point two places does the same as dividing by 100, no math involved, and I'm sure Dave does this in his head too. But, dividing by 100 shows what you are really doing. If your shot was at 1000 yards, or 10 times as far, your inches divided by 10 like you did would be correct. You were only shooting 4 times as far, so you'd divide by 4. 680 yards would be 6.80 times as far, so you'd divide the inches by 6.8. [/QUOTE]
