LRF said 250, but depending on where I positioned the target and myself +/- 5 yards.

Well, lets see what happened here. I used the crow and my estimate came very close. If you are using the mailbox however, you must first know that the bottom of the box part of the mailbox SHOULD measure about 42" from street level. Knowing this we use our inches formula:

<span style="text-decoration: underline">Target Size in Inches x 28</span> = Distance in yards
Target Size in Mils

I found the mailbox measured about 7 mils to the bottom

<span style="text-decoration: underline">42s x 28</span> = 168 yards
7
The answer comes out to be 168 yards. This is not the correct number, but it would be if we estimated the number of mils correctly and the height of the mailbox was correct. What did you do differently to arrive at 275 yards?
</div></div>

I got 166.66 to the mailbox based on 6" height of mailbox (better than "should be" 42" from the road). 1 mil high. (27.778*6)/1 = 166.668

Shooting a 308, the difference between 166 and the 168 distances, the Bad Crow would still POOF feathers.

Re: Crow

i got 162 to the mail box using the post. standard 4x4 actually 3.5x3.5 27.778 x 3.5/ .6(mils)=162yds

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

New one. Truck is 2wd Dodge Dakota. Hostage is just in front of drivers side door.

 

[criz123]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

dodge truck

my guess ~140 yards

5" door handle * 27.778 / 1 mil + 1.5-2 yards to drivers door

this is assuming my target is hostage..I did not identify threat.

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

son and i just ran thru these and it was fun, keep them coming and maybe ill try to get out with the camera too. my only critique would be why are so many of them ranging things so close that the answer isnt necessary for an elevation correction to get a hit. how is an 83 yard target for example mildot worthy?

 

[criz123]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

it's all about the practice.

 

[Lefty06]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

I'm figuring about 140 yards to the Dodge

 

[Playerz1337]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

Dodge truck, close enough to pull the trigger.

I'm zeroed at 200.

Might wanna open the window first, that sideways shot through glass might screw it up.

 

[dar1246]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

120 yards I would figure. The house has 4.5 to 5 inch lap. The mirror on the dodge would be around 8". House 127 yards and the truck 118 yards.

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

I had the crow at 154 yards.

 

[bigroo]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

Target is the front door.

 

[marduk185]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

im guessin the door at 82 inches tall and fills 1 mil. i get 2277 yards to the door? ok miled the window and get 2024 yards but either way i got no bidness shooting this far.

 

[Heronion]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

It looks like one mil is covering just a shade over 6' here. I'm thinking around 2050-2100 yards.

 

[bigroo]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

The front door target is 1525 yards away, give or take 5 yards.

 

[Playerz1337]

Re: Mil-Dot estimation Challenge

I say 1,943 yards to door. ~84 inches & 1.2 mils.
