Ranging with your reticle Yards and Meters

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

Thanks man. I so need to learn these measurements. Getting a Bushnell 3-9x40 scope 11th of Jan, for my. 22.pellet rifle.
Great vid, truly enjoyed it.
👍😊

How do I put the range in to my scope ?

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

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

Thanks for posting videos

Very helpful. Thank you.

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

thanks for the eu inclusion

Brilliant video thank you?

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

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

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.

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

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

Thanks for the great info! I really appreciate it!

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 ??

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

So doing moa in cm... so a 90cm target is just 90x34.38? Not .90 ??

Please explain how to correctly range with a SFP reticle.

Was always taught distance in m = (size of target in cm/mils)*10. So much easier to remember and do.

Talk about a bullseye education! 🔥🔥👍👍

Wow,,,
Thank you!! This one is going into my playlist for reference!
After years of using MOA based 2nd focal plane scopes I have recently switched over to MIL based 1st focal plane scopes. They really help with my eyesight now and the math for me is so much easier to calculate. Great stuff.
Very much appreciated and please keep up the great work!!
😎👍🦌

Thank you!

How do you know your cardboard is the right size to recent 19 inches?

Learning!! 😎🤓is good!!! Excellent job

Great information and explained so well. Thank you

Thank you sir!

Bruh..... You're awesome

great video thanks

Hello!
I tried using the formulas (both metric & imperial) for both mils & moa reticles. But the numbers are all different and doesn't match up.

For example:

Target is 8cm by 8cm multiplied by 10 (for mils) then i divided it by 2mils, and i got 40mtrs distance. Then tried the same for moa: (8 × 34.38) / 2 = 137.52mtrs?

Same goes when i tried it with the imperial formula for mils & moa.

Can you please show me where i got it wrong?
Or from what i understand is that distance is different between using mils and moa because of how their hashmarks are made/guaged/calculated differently?

What if the target isn’t square say a body target 34” hi and 19 in wide. So is the first number the height or width?

What if you don’t know your targets size? IE hunting I see a deer is top of back to belly 32” or 24” who knows

I appreciate the time and thought you put into explaining all this. I'm new to the sport and late to these comments, so perhaps I'm missing something. It just seems easier to change the way we are judging distance and size into metric measurements than converting things from imperial units into metric.

How to get 16 inches for MOA? could you clarify more?

Great explanation, I was confused about first vs second focal scopes. Now it makes sense

know if your on the field how are you able to get the measurements of the object to utilize the formula

Do you know where 27.77 comes from? To convert inches to yards, 36 inches equal one yard. (1/36) x 1000 = 27.77. The 1000 is a constant required to get the correct answer.

Outstanding 👍 world needs more good men like you sir.

Okay so how do you use your reticle to measure out the 19 inches

Thanks

WHY are you using an asterick "*" instead of a proper "x" to show multiplication???????????

Ummm, using a conversion factor of 27.77 would your range not be in meters vice yards.

I cannot believe americans still use the imperial system. Metric is so much easier.
You can do the formula for range finding in MIL and metric in your head.
30 cm target is 2 MIL? 150 meters.
5 cm target is 0.5 MIL? 100 meters

How do I get the width or height of the target when it stands far away from me?

This was fantastic he made it so easy to understand now sniper training is next!

Thank you so much for a fine video. I must point out that if working the formula with centimeters one should use 100 NOT 10 which would be decimeters. That is my take on what you explained. Best to you.

is there a formula to use inches and mils to get meters

Can’t we just keep it simple. First off forget inches think meters. Use a MRAD scope. A half a meter is about 20 inches. A good sized deer top of back to belly is about 20 inches. So, for example, if a measured value is one mil, and that value is believed to be .5 meter, then .5 divided by 1 is .5, and .5 times 1,000 equals 500 meters. If the subtended value is 2, then .5 divided by 2 is.25, and .25 times 1,000 is 250 meters. This is not rocket science.

Thank you for a clear explanation. It is much simpler than the leupold manual. Please let me know what do you do if you do not know the size of the target. Thank you.
