I hit ignore on this 450+ posts ago. I come back to check it out and on page 11 we’re still talking yards and inches for MOA adjustment.....I see I haven’t missed much!
I typically lay the moniker of 'genius' on someone who sees something no one else does and it's a bellwether moment....game changer to the benefit of a skill or pursuit. Now I may be on an island here, but going to go ahead and say this thread will not bestow the aforementioned moniker on the OP as time goes on. But who knows NF may introduce the 'chickon1' cluster bang 5-25 with WTF reticle ranging and we are all saying 'heck yea I was there when he dropped that knowledge bomb how'd we miss it?'
How do you know how big something is to wing your range?
@armorpl8chikn picture of one of @Bigfatcock girls in post 478 is a great example. You still using the armys taught shoulder to shoulder 19-21" estimate for your target size in inches from that picture lol how about 36-39" inches beltline to top of head?
Only way those formulas are accurate is if the target size in linear measurement is known, if not your guessing.... but you know that already.
Knowing how to use the math and when to use the math is just as important.
its not 1980 anymore... Range finders are no longer a two man load out that only work a few times with horrible battery life.
I don't think he has a laser range finder.
"--" these are quotation marks.
'--' these are the same, just for lazy fucks.
' this represents feet, but not the kind you walk on.
" dis be inches.
$ this is the dollar symbol. It goes in front of the numbers, not at the end.
# represents pounds. Some THOTS call it a hash tag.
> greater than, or look over there.
< less than, or, look that way instead.
^^^ means he's right you know.
* represents degrees because a stupid cell phone doesn't have an actual tiny little degree circle you can place after a number.
¿ means your question is drunk and might need a cab home, or to the nearest bar that won't throw him out.
° well, fuk me running. Looky what I found on the 2nd page.
{ } parentheses with hard nipples.
¡ a screaming drunk that fell over.
》》》》》》 crosswalk going >> that way.
《《《《《《 crosswalk going << that way.
|| the eleven.
So, your entire point is that math that doesn’t matter is easier with moa?
Bold strategy.
If you are doing math behind the rifle, you are doing it wrong.
500 responses for him to reveal he likes moa because it’s easier on a calculator.....
⁰ well f*ck me it works on android too!
If you hold the "1" you get "¼" especially useful for people who use moa! @chickon1

Ding Ding Ding Ding. You win the, lets read and comprehend prize. Pretty sure I said that about 20 times now but people literally say there is no math, mils isn't based on the metric system, and continue to go on and on with shit I agree with that has nothing to do with what I am saying.
I know a Network Eng guy named Matt Rodgers, also Spence from 7SFG works up there at Altus that runs all the long range stuff.
No, no, no... Quigley-Ford with the new, universal MILOA reticle (with an “L” shaped squirrel testicle ranging ruler in quadrant III).

Okay, that wins the blue ribbon for concise summarization and reply during the First Annual SH MOA vs MIL Festival.
Well done Sir.
You won the I’m bored prize. Be less of an asshole in a week.
That was said a long time ago in this thread but your hubris blinded you from seeing it and instead you go on arguing about inconsequential topics to try and make yourself feel smart.
I’ll bet you’re a hoot at the local gun store with all the other fudds
Oh... he gone...
Only for a week. He was getting time out regardless. But wanted to see how long he would keep coming back with blinding arrogance.
No no. He's going to prove to us that coconuts migrate because he can, just by visualization, perfectly judge the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow, minus a few hundreths here and there.

Don't be a dolt. He thinks in inches. It will be the elusive North American swallow, which have squirrel testicles. That's why it can carry a one pound coconut.
This dude has said "network engineer" a number of times so I'm thinking more like commo technician.

We tried multiple times to talk him down onto the landing strip. But after awhile... it just became too much fun.
Sorry to have caused a problem. But damn, some of this was pure gold!

Dthomas knows. He was the one that moved it from Ballistics Calculator to the Bear Pit. He does that sometimes to make it more sporting.
I think somewhere along the way in this 11 pages, he finally "got it" and understood what people were trying to get through to him, but his ego wouldn't let him admit that he didn't understand it in the beginning. So, his argument slowly morphed to make it sound like he was arguing something else.
His statement early on about calling a miss for a shooter as "3 in. low", and the shooter (using a mil scope) looks at him like, "WTF? because the math is more difficult" was the most telling of his incomprehension. No, the shooter is looking at you like "WTF?" because he wants a new spotter who knows how to call. He kept circling back to calling misses in inches. I never saw him explain how he measured those inches from 500 (or whatever) yards away. We all know you have to use a reticle, and the only way to get inches from a reticle is to do a completely useless math conversion and convert the units he measured with the reticle (whether mil or MOA) into a DIFFERENT unit (inches) that is also completely useless to the shooter because it requires ANOTHER completely un-necessary conversation BACK to "whichever" units are on the scope. He just couldn't grasp the stupidity of calling a miss in inches, or why you would never do that.
Oh I’m sure he thought/thinks the “math” was much more important than it is. Probably thinks reticle ranging is still more important than a utility/legacy skill as well.
Like I said, one of the easiest ways to identify a non shooter.
Op let everyone know what they needed to know about op with his first post. The next 11 pages were just for fun.
Also true. He was only allowed to stay until he became boring.
