<span style="text-decoration: underline">Height of target in yards</span> X 1000 = Distance in Yards
Mils
10" = .27 yards
Head = 1 mil
<span style="text-decoration: underline">.27 </span> = .27 X 1000 = 270 yards
1 (Mil)
Or:
<span style="text-decoration: underline">height of target in inches</span> X 27.78 = Distance in yards
Mils
So;
<span style="text-decoration: underline">10"</span> = 10 X 27.78 = 277.8 yards
1 (Mil)
I guess it pays to learn how to decipher fractions of mils and calculate to more than two decimal places!
</div></div>Excellent. We are on the same page ... 278 yards give or take
</div></div>
ok this math is driving me batty,
i got you take the hight of the target and multiply by 1000, ie the 270. where does the 1 mil come in? How would the math look if it was 2 mil, or 1.5 mil. I just cant get my hands around this. </div></div>If you have a known target size and a mil dot reticle you can determine appx distance. Take the target size (height in yards) divided by the number of mils on the reticle from bottom of target to top, and multiply the quotient by 1000 to give you an approximation of the distance to said target. In this instance, if said target was two mils instead of one, the target would have been twice as close. Hope this helps!
