[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1575654, member: 11960"] I used the kill zone of an elk as a reference just because this is a hunting forum and the scale was appropriate for an MOA size target at 1 mile. I absolutely recognize that I have a slightly different approach to ELR shooting. I do a lage percentage of my 1 mile shooting with specialty pistols which work best with optics set at about 14-16x. No one is recommending using 1x magnification to shoot at a 1” target at 100 yards, the discussion was about a 1 MOA target. I said that a 1 MOA target is the same relative size at any range given the same magnification. A 1 MOA target at 100 yards through a 14x scope will appear the same size in the scope as a 1 MOA target at 1760 yards with 14x magnification. We’re dealing with angular measurements, so the scale stays them same regardless of distance. [/QUOTE]
