[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2493444, member: 5437"] Mil works better for both metric and imperial IME. More exact and universal. The only reason it seems "metric" is because metric is better being base 10 to start with. MIL is not metric. It is 1/1000 the distance. I too struggle thinking yds/feet/inches and the conversion is more difficult but it's not MIL's fault. A mil is 3.6" at 100yds (0.1 mil click is 0.36"). 100yds÷1000=0.1yds then the conversion 0.1yds*3ft/yd*12in/ft=3.6". You can use rods or cubits or whatever distance it's the same 1/1000 ratio. I almost missed my Elk last year because I can't seem to get my old brain to shift gears to metric fast enough. My main hunting buddy is military and for him it's meters. Meters is better and it's my mind that needs to change. I wish we would have changed when I was a kid and Canada did. This would all be easier. [/QUOTE]
