So my buddy drew an OIl oryx tag after 26 yrs. we've both been in on several 36"+ bulls and feel confident in our abilities but He came up with idea of using mils to judge them by using backwards math-knowing the range. Has anyone ever done this? Any holes in his theory?

Re: Using mils for trophy judging
Don't know why it wouldn't work assuming you knew the range.
To find distance its Tgt size in yards X 1000 /mils
So if the target is 18 inches its .5*1000
Lets say the target is two mils high so .5*1000/2 = 250
So if we reverse it, lets say you range the target with a laser range finder and its 250 yards away. 250/1000*2 = .5 yards or 18 inches.

Worked really well. My hunting area is relativity small 400yrds is the longest but knowing distance is the key to judging the trophy.
