[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1791682, member: 105322"] This is from another forum, but addresses the issue succinctly: Quote: "[B][I]The key is to stop thinking in linear measurement in every aspect except distance[/I][/B]. The average uninitiated MOA shooter goes through this thought process.... "My drop at 400 yards is 36 inches, so 36 inches at 400 yards is about 8.5 MOA, so 1/4 MOA clicks means I need 34 clicks".... the same thought process is also commonly used for a miss correction...e.g. ( I missed by about 6 inches so....etc.) The [B][I]proper[/I][/B] way to think of it is this..."My 400 yard drop is 8.5 MOA, so I need to dial 8.5 MOA...or, I missed by 2 MOA, I need to make a 2 MOA correction" (How do you know that? Because your scope has a handy dandy ruler built right into it ) The [B][I]proper[/I][/B] use of MILS and MOA is exactly the same. A) Memorize your drops in the angular measurement. B) Measure your misses in the angular measurement. C) Dial or hold that angular measurement." : end quote. [/QUOTE]
