[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 189187, member: 704"] Yes I know Kirt, I have about ten mildots. I wish I could trade them all for minute of angle. As you say mile is ALMOST easier. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Yes I know Kirt, I have about ten mildots. I wish I could trade them all for minute of angle. As you say mile is ALMOST easier. Mils is more for people. One mil is 36 inches at 1000 yards. Interesting that the difference in height of people is mostly in leg length. From crotch to top of head most people are about 36 inches. Have you ever wondered why someone six inches shorter than you is about the same height when your sitting? The military developed the mil based on human body height. There is some difference between army mils and marine mils. One is based on tenths as you mentioned (most popular on civilian scopes) and the other is in eighths. One is round dots and the other football shaped. Some people prefer mils, but I find minute of angle much easier, especially for estimating rack size. For a mil to estimate range you need to know the size of your target. A minute of angle will do the same thing. However if you have a laser range finder and know your tangle the minute of angle will tell you the size of your target. A mil will work, but minute of angle works for anyone with third grade math without Rambo training. [/QUOTE]
