  2. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    The group on the right measures about 7 mm and was fired at about 90 meters, which equals ⁠ 7 mm / 90 m ⁠ = 0.08 mils (0.3 in group at 100 yards, approx. 1.047′×0.3 = 0.314′). In shooting sports , a shot grouping , or simply group , is the collective pattern of projectile impacts on a target from multiple consecutive shots taken in one ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadiametric_rangefinding

    The approximate range of an object one foot (30.48 cm) in height covering roughly 100 milliradians is 10 feet (3.048 m) or: Range (r) = approximate height of object (h) × (1000 ÷ aperture in milliradians (a)) r = h(1000/a) → where r and h are identical units, and a is in milliradians.

  4. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    Rifle manufacturers and gun magazines often refer to this capability as sub-MOA, meaning a gun consistently shooting groups under 1 MOA. This means that a single group of 3 to 5 shots at 100 yards, or the average of several groups, will measure less than 1 MOA between the two furthest shots in the group, i.e. all shots fall within 1 MOA.

  5. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_(unit)

    A cord is the amount of wood that, when "racked and well stowed" (arranged so pieces are aligned, parallel, touching, and compact), occupies a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.62 m 3). [1] This corresponds to a well-stacked woodpile 4 feet (122 cm) high, 8 feet (244 cm) wide, and 4 feet (122 cm) deep; or any other arrangement of linear measurements ...

  8. Forest inventory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_inventory

    Site index – a species specific measure of site productivity and management options, reported as the height of dominant and co-dominant trees in a stand at a base age such as 25, 50 and 100 years; Tree taper – the degree to which a tree's stem or bole decreases in diameter as a function of height above ground. So it can be sharp or gradual.

  9. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    The President Tree (Sequoiadendron giganteum) [3] was measured in 2012 to have a trunk volume of 54,000 cubic feet (1,500 m 3) of wood and a branch volume of 9,000 cubic feet (250 m 3) of wood in the branches. In this giant tree the branch volume was only 16.7% that of the trunk volume.
