    So doing moa in cm… so a 90cm target is just 90×34.38? Not .90 ??

  2. Great video! I'm a visual learner so the illustrations on FFP and SFP really became clear. I also love math so the formulas was very cool to learn. This is why I have taken on precision shooting as a hobby because of the intricacies

  3. DANNY Warren says:

    Ok help me out… so if I'm using MOA… and my target in 90cm tall… do I just calculate 90 x 34.39..or is it. .90 x ??

  4. Thanks for the great info! I really appreciate it!

    My phone has a calculator. My phone is always with me.

    I wanted to see you take the shot at the end lol

  7. 100 can be used instead of 95.5 at mid range, even on targets which must be hit exactingly. Example 36 inch target that subtends 6 MOA is 36 times 100 equals 3600 divided by 6 equals 600 yards. Now 36 times 95.5 divided by 6 equals 573 yards. What’s important here is while 95.5 is correct constant a shooter can not discern MOA value from the reticle to know if it is subtending 573 or 600 yards. And in fact if the shooter was shooting at a 36 inch mark at 600 yards, such as the NRA decimal target, the target would indeed appear to be 6 MOA and 100 constant would get better outcome than application of 95.5. In other words if shooter used 95.5 on the impression of the target being 6 MOA he would shoot low on that target, low enough to not stay in X-Ring.

    GOOD JOB !
    This is the best & easiest to uncerstand explaination of how MOA and MILs work!
    THUMBS-UP ! Keep it up!

  9. Jon Stacy says:

    can you calculate this in reverse, meaning if I know the distance but not the size of the target and want to know whats the formula? Thanks

  10. Mike Andrews says:

    Brilliant video thank you?

  11. Deezyyeezy says:

    thanks for the eu inclusion

  12. Mark Chester says:

    Someone else making up new words. Height has now apparently become height-th. Who knew?

  13. Very helpful. Thank you.

  14. scott bashaw says:

    Thanks for posting videos

  15. When you zoom in or out MOA or mils gonna change, how to find correct MOA and mils

  16. What if you don't know how big the target is?

  17. How do I put the range in to my scope ?

    Thanks man. I so need to learn these measurements. Getting a Bushnell 3-9×40 scope 11th of Jan, for my. 22.pellet rifle.
    Great vid, truly enjoyed it.
    👍😊

  19. Appreciate the visual at the end. I’m a newbie. Trying to learn what I can.

  20. Big Gun says:

    You’re intelligent as fuck!

  21. Thank you! Awesome information.

  22. There are only two Hs in height.

  23. Awesome video, thanks from Australia for the metric (meters) explanation. Every video ive watched only had inches and yards.

  24. soro911 says:

    Does this work if my steel plate is prone?

  25. I Truck says:

    Finally somebody explain it right !

  26. RobertK79 says:

    Excellent video! Appreciate the info!

  27. CDH says:

    What's EBRI ?

  28. Just saw this and I want to say thank you. You made it very easy to understand even for a dummy like me.

  29. Thnx for making the metric part 👍

    Coefficient, a constant is for addition but a coefficient is for multiplication

  31. DLN1234 says:

    it would be easier if you just use Imperial when calculating MOA and Metric when calculating Mils.
    Oh and use the actual number of mils degrees in a circle not the 6400 they tell you to use.
    0.1 mil = 1cm. @ 100M and 1 MOA = 1.0 inch ( + ) @ 100 yrds.
    using 27.777 is a factor to convert from metric to imperial similar to Pi ( think that's how you spell Pi ? )

    What if you don’t know the size in inches of the object? What placeholder do you use to find that

  33. john smith says:

    i know it will never happen but country every should go to the metric system i didnt like it at first when we changed here in australia but once you get used to it there is no comparison it is a much easier system to use

  34. This is all great for when you know your target size at the range. But what about game animals? There’s no way to know how big they are in inches. 🧐
