Be honest, how well did you do?

I sucked it up horribly.

I believe the answer to #4 is none of those provided and #5 is dependant on sight height.

I was thinking the same thing that there was insufficient data on a question or two, but regardless this is the answers that the website provided.

I got 6 out of 7 right, but I've got a calculator right here in front of me

If I had to do most of the math in my head, I'd of flunked this test.

I was also thinking that #5 required a sight height, but to be honest I wouldn't have known that calculation anyway. My answer would've been a guess even if I knew the SH.

Fun stuff, it's good to keep our minds sharp on these things.

#4 seemed right? mentioned moa, which is inch/yard. Common adjustment but reachable by moa or mil. I thought wind @ zero value was off? How can zero value be hardest

Because it may appear to be zero value, but if it's off by one side or the other just a smidge then it's no longer zero value.......Instead it's nearly 1/4 value. So, one shot flies at 1/4 value left, the next may be 1/4 value right, and the next may be no correction..........all this and what we're seeing or feeling is a zero wind correction. Really tough to guage without wind flags.

+1 on #4, they just left out part of the equation, Inches divided by (Yards/100) then we minus 5% to convert IPHY to MOA. They must've been thinking size / distance = moa
