    To adjust a 1 ⁄ 2 MOA scope 3 MOA down and 1.5 MOA right, the scope needs to be adjusted 3 × 2 = 6 clicks down and 1.5 x 2 = 3 clicks right; To adjust a 1 ⁄ 4 MOA scope 3 MOA down and 1.5 MOA right, the scope needs to be adjusted 3 x 4 = 12 clicks down and 1.5 × 4 = 6 clicks right

  3. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    [1] [2] On the other hand, the grouping displacement (the distance between the calculated group center and the intended point of aim) is a measure of accuracy. Tightness of shot groupings are calculated by measuring the maximum distance between any two bullet holes on the target (center-to-center) in length measurements such as millimeters or ...

  4. Ballistic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_table

    Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and MOA.. A ballistic table or ballistic chart, also known as the data of previous engagements (DOPE) chart, is a reference data chart used in long-range shooting to predict the trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to ...

    Also, let Q = (x 1, y 1) be any point on this line and n the vector (a, b) starting at point Q. The vector n is perpendicular to the line, and the distance d from point P to the line is equal to the length of the orthogonal projection of on n. The length of this projection is given by:

    <1 mph Smoke rises vertically. Light Air 0.3-1.5 m/s 1–3 mph Direction shown by smoke drift but not by wind vanes. Light Breeze 1.6–3.3 m/s 4–7 mph Wind felt on face; leaves rustle; wind vane moved by wind. Gentle breeze 3.4–5.5 m/s 8–12 mph Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; light flags extended. Moderate breeze 5.5–7.9 m/s

    At 2,400 m (2,625 yd) the total drop predictions deviate 47.5 cm (19.7 in) or 0.20 mil (0.68 moa) at 50° latitude and up to 2,700 m (2,953 yd) the total drop predictions are within 0.30 mil (1 moa) at 50° latitude. The 2016 Lapua Ballistics 6 DoF App version predictions were even closer to the Doppler radar test predictions.

    Focal length can be calculated for the system in fig. 1 using the geometry shown in fig. 2 where it can be seen that changing the gap between the components (d+D in the figure) or the radius of curvature (R) will have a large effect on the focal length.

    • If the helmeted head of a man (≈ 0.25 m tall) fits between the fourth bar and the horizontal line, the man is at approximately 100 meters distance. • When the upper part of the body of a man (≈ 1 m tall) fits under the first line, he stands at approximately 400 meters distance.
