I’m no expert by any means, in fact that’s why I’m going back through different videos to refresh my memory. Because I was too cheap to buy a rangefinder for several years, I have used ranging formulas while hunting and it has been very useful. If any readers plan on using it, I suggest doing all of the work (math) in the comforts of you home and making cheat cards to carry with you. Depending on your rifle, round and ability gaps in preworked distances and still be close enough to make the shot. I don’t know about Alaska’s Moose regulation, but in certain Counties in Texas they have rack limits on Mule Deer. Even though Mule deer tend to stand in place for a while, there’s no way to use the reticle to verify size. Besides having to have the precise distance known, you would have to be square (forward or rearward) of the deer to measure the size. Luckily Texas gave us an easy generalized reference to go by. Generally , Mule Deer ears in the alert are 20” tip to tip. That’s where quality glass from Vortex comes in handy to get a clear look at the deer.

Stadiametric rangefinding and the math associated with it is not without it's applications. Have used it many times in the field from mil-dots to MOA to plex reticles to archery sight pins and even iron sights. Amazing some of the things this angular math can do sometimes, once the most basic 5 variable equation is understood completely.

The most common non-shooting application is slopes of pipes and grades. 1% slope is 10 mil and just under 1/8"/foot. You are usually working the opposite direction, knowing the distance and figuring the drop, but it can be helpful for people unfamiliar with the concept.

MOA ranging formula will always yield better answer to actual distance: target size in inches times 95.5 divide by target size in MOA equal yards to target. MOA also better for wind counter using an MOA wind constant, holding or adjusting.

The old video is really good.

Good talk fellas.

[@KaneGregory]

I learned 1 MOA at hundred and I have quarter MOA each click so at 200 yards I would turn 8 clicks or more likely I just hold off with my reticle so I can move on with my life!!!🤯🔫🧠

[@Yettiattack]

2 minutes at 200 yards is 4”

Omg just use metric! What’s wrong with you Americans not wanting to switch? With Metric the constant is 1000, such an easy number to remember and deal with. No 95.5 or 27.78, both are just weird! Just use metric omg! Even your military uses it!

[@danielboggan2479]

Mrad isn’t metric. It’s just a different way to measure angles. It’s got nothing to do with the metric system

[@ronaldraygun2639]

No

[@jiajianhou426]

@@danielboggan2479 if you use MRAD and metric, you won’t deal with that 27.78 number. If you use MRAD and imperial, you have to deal with that 27.78 number.

Just because of you I’m buying MOA now. Get fucked

@@danielboggan2479 mils and MOA is not metic, they are angular units of measure to describe inches of bullet drift at target distance.
