Mil-Dot Master..

[Ring]

normally i use my PDA to do the milling, but wanted Mil-Dot Master incase im at a match that dont allow electronics on stages...
after getting it in the mail, its useless on small targets... such as 12" plates, or 30" wide silhouettes.. at and long range..

Try reading the manual. Use the right hand scale and you can mil 1.75" targets down to .3 mil.

Once you check out the directions like Cory said you can get pretty fine with the breakdown and be pretty surprised by how accurate it can be.

I just use the right side of mine. Works for Mils or MOA, and like the guys said, pretty dang accurate. Battery life is great too

Re: Mil-Dot Master disappointment

wow really? its perfect for that ..... if you know your target size that is half the battle. read the directions and go out and play with it. plus the more accurately you can guess the actual mil measurement the better it will be!

Ya dude. You need to learn to use it before you allow yourself to get disappointed. Its way faster than a PDA and the batteries never loose their charge.

I'm with the OP.

I have a mildot master and it's ok, but the little card I made up in excel is far superior. It is smaller, more legible, and is faster.

So quick to pass judgement. You have missed many things the MDM can do.

Learn its capabilities and how to use it before you dismiss it.

Re: Mil-Dot Master disappointment

Just use the right hand scale. Take the target size in inches and align it with the far right mil values, read the range in the normal window.

And call whoever you got it from and get the manual, it does more than just range.

Re: Mil-Dot Master disappointment

Ring, if you PM me your email address, I'll email you my excel spreadsheet for my card.

It goes from .05-1mard in .05 increments, then from 1 to 2.5ish in .1 incs, and from 1-20" target sizes. It covers ranges for ~75yards to 1300 yards.

Printed 2.5"x2.5", it is easy to read and FAST.

So you should rename your thread, before some sees it and fails to read it all the way to the happy ending.....

Re: Mil-Dot Master disappointment

Like mine alot. You can always double the target size and then divide for more accuracy.
