[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 364968, member: 3756"] I'd say within 500-600 yards because we are really guessing the dimensions of the animal that we subtend inside the moa or mil measurement. When it comes to shooting rocks far away I use it to determine how big the rock I'm shooting at is. That'd be pretty close because you would use your ranged distance to figure that out; that would be less of a guessing. Some examples: Deer from back to brisket = 18" It subtends 3.5 moa. [B](18" x 95.51) / 3.4 = 505.6 yards[/B] Or using Mills Deer from back to brisket = 18" It subtends 1.0 mills. [B](18" x 27.778) / 1.0 = 500 yards[/B] ------------------------------------------------------ Now let's say I range a rock at 1150 yards, and it's kind of square and it subtends 1.5 moa. Now for me to know its size I would do as follows: Target Size = [(Distance) x (MOA reading)] / 95.51 [B]Target Size = (1150 x 1.5) / 95.51 = 18" [/B] if you're using mills and you read 0.45 mills: [B]Target Size = (1150 x 0.45) / 27.778 = 18.6"[/B] -------------------------------------------------------- I Hope I did it right...? :D [/QUOTE]
