[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1723061, member: 105322"] That video is about Mil ranging, which nobody with a laser rangefinder is gonna do. It is a good legacy skill to have though. I'm also afraid it is one of the things that scares people off from using Mils. They think they have to be proficient at the Mil ranging formula to use Mils. The thing that screws everyone up when learning Mils is trying to convert Mils to some known linear distance, like feet and yards. When the light goes on and shooters learn that they actually have a ruler 6 inches in front of thier face and they don't need to do any conversions, they never go back. Simply write or memorize your drops in Mils, learn your wind holds in Mils...use the ruler (reticle) provided for adjustments. Simple as that. In the same manner, IMO most of the Moa crowd fail to use Moa correctly. Again, absolutely zero need to convert anything to any linear distance. The ruler is 6 inches in front of your nose. If the reticle says you missed by 2 Moa, then make a 2 Moa adjustment using the ruler. [/QUOTE]
