[QUOTE="grit, post: 607703, member: 4112"] MOA is a very simple system to use. 1 MOA = 1.047" per hundred yards. To get your head around the idea 1MOA = 1 inch per hundred yards. A one MOA correction moves your point of impact one inch at one hundred, 2 inches at 200, 3 inches at 300, 10 inches at 1000. A quarter minute click moves 2.5" at 1000 yards. Your drop chart or ballistics program will provide an elevation correction for the ranged yardage and other conditions such as barometric pressure and incline. I'll give a few examples. We have a 100 yard zero. Our program will tell us the bullet drops nine inches, or 3 moa at three hundred yards. Simply turn the dial to 3, hold dead on, and squeeze. At five hundred yards our chart tells us we have 8 MOA, or 40 inches of drop. Dial to the 8 and squeeze. The only challenge is learning the system. A few minutes study and a couple times turning the knobs is all it takes. To be more "user friendly", leupold, Kenton industries, and others build drop compensation turrets. You should still learn how MOA works, as it's the foundation for most systems, and this knowledge will enable you to fine tune your shooting corrections. [/QUOTE]
