Range estimation using (M24) binoculars and a simple math formula.

[@klausschwabshubris]

Excellent information, regardless of what some individuals would think.

[@CIATFBI]

In case anyone is wondering, the 25.4 is always the same and always used when using target object measurements in inches because it's a conversion to mm. 1 inch = 25.4mm. I like knowing the "why" behind things.

[@Official_reddok]

Thanks you

[@wcoonradt264]

Excellent information... Learned this in the past when in the Army, but forgot the formula since getting out 25 years ago. Excellent refresher. Good skill to practice.

[@TheHidesite]

Hey Nate, I’m a sniper in the U.S. Army and used this video as a reference for my range determination class with Ukrainians. Thanks for your contribution to helping these fighting men become more lethal!

[@robertwinslow5097]

VERY GOOD DAVE and NATE.... Back in the day when I served in the Army( M60 gunner here) range estimation especially for range cards were established by pace count and good ol guestimating !!!!!! Excellent Video!!!!

[@hdkraut]

Good instruction! One thing to be aware of... Many street signs are different sizes. Stop signs have three different sizes, and the sizes are selected by the City or State based on traffic type, traffic volume and posted speed. Stop signs can be 24", 30" and 48", for instance.

Awesome stuff! Just bought a Soviet (Polish-made) Trench Periscope. These things are awesome, made with quality glass, back in a day when things were built to last (even in the Warsaw Pact). It also has a stadiametric range finder, but can't find any literature on it, even in Russian. I have experience using the one in a PVS-4 Night Vision Sight, but that's about it. It all makes sense. Thanks.

[@terrybizzle9027]

Have a high magnification first focal plane scope with parallax adjustment for long distance targets. After parallax adjustment is complete the knob tells me the distance and I know which point on my reticle to use. His example is great for your average 10X scope with mildots. With my old eyes I kind of like 30X or more better for some reason. An occasional trip to the range to verify helps keep the skills up.

[@jessicahayes9788]

Thank you for this valuable tool & information. I am definitely going to rewatch the video. I do have two binoculars and I'm going to have to study the mils. God bless you both.

Thanks for these videos, great job! Could you speak about how to mil the TGT if it does not conveniently measure 3 or 6 mils? Is it just estimated then as best you can?

[@jerimy1lisinski]

were can you find good binos and what to look for when choosing them?

Good review! Great reminder, I need to make a new times table chart & MOA input output chart. Thank You God Bless

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

I’m thankful my particular Fuji M24s have a small hash every 2 mils. Makes it a little bit easier to get a finer measurement.

[@cmdrcorvuscoraxnevermore3354]

Howdy SP1, could you do a video on mil dot binocs and spotting Scopes? Best ones for a prepper to get. That'd be a good video. Thank you for your videos and great info.

do youknow where i can get a list or data base of common measurement of things? I think I heard this library of measurements is called "yarsdticks" Idk

Used to do this with the TOW missile system and a pair of bino's. To see how far way the target was. But that was a long time ago :).

Kick ass guys, thanks for the video.

[@RSSIPPEL.ART.]

I saw a sniper once, who said that if your firing, at the extreme distance, of your range; that heating your sniper- ammunition magazine, in the sunlight before firing it, can make the ammo pack, just a little extra punch. He put the M50 round, through a concrete wall in Afghanistan; and hit both of the conversing targets, BEHIND it... Seemed dangerous..but what isn't?

[@RSSIPPEL.ART.]

@@gutsnav8641 That was awesome ..thank you for all of that info.

[@GJ1128]

Unless you have data with sun-heated ammo (like this sniper undoubtedly had) and know the difference vs cold ammo, this is most likely just going to throw you off

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

I want to say the "heating up ammo" tidbit was said by a Canadian sniper in AFG who was trying to get more range (for extreme range shooting) out of his Canadian loaded .50 BMG ammo which, he said, was loaded lighter than US made ammunition. That said, I wouldn't worry about heating up ammunition and trying to figure out your DOPE for it. I would load my own ammunition with temperature stable powder and understand my drops with that one load.

Nice! That is very simple formula with just one constant. I just hope it's not an EMP event that kills my phone and it's calculator (my brain can't math).

[@williamhampl2919]

Very much like a transit level.

[@juhanivalimaki5418]

Metric system: 1 mm target at 1 m is 1 mrad, or 1 mm = 1 m * 1 m(rad). 1 m = 1 mm / 1m(rad). 1m(rad) = 1 mm / 1 m So there are no conversion multipliers nor formula memorization needed. Well other than mm = m*m, m = mm/m

[@paulrichmond8392]

For anybody who doesn't know 25.4 is how many millimeters are in 1 inch

[@keithf7976]

Your formula is in standard measurements but the answer came out in meters? Or did he mean to say yards ?

[@americanrifleman2992]

Bino's come with a Booklet that will explain the optic being used.

[@oathtaker2768]

[@egodeathplease]

So basically your useing the size of a known object to obtain the distance to a target. To get around Atmoshpheric lenseing wich plays a huge role in how large objects appear. Some days you can see things. Some days you can't.

[@sporenack]

If you want to make this much simpler get you a Mildot Master. It will do the math for you in MRAD or MOA as long as you know your target size. I keep one in my long range bag as a analog backup to my Sig Kilo 2400 rangefinder. The Sig Kilo will range and runs applied ballistics for whatever rifle and caliber I’m shooting right on the screen. Even with all this it’s what I call “Try Dope”. Get out and shoot your rifle, know your holdovers and wind holds for that rifle/particular bullet. All this is useless unless you know how to apply it in the field with experience.

[@littleloneprepper4820]

I won’t even pretend to understand or be able to use this, but I know it’s important information. Hopefully I will be able to get with some other people soon, but as a lone female my best chance will be to hide

[@DearHenryA]

The 25.4 is the standard conversion from inches to 1/1000th of a meter. If that helps anyone. If the US actually used the metric system then it would be easier to do the math.

[@aaronbtxnc]

A little math cheat for those who don't carry a calculator. Round the 25.4 to 25, much easier math. Anything times 25 is that anything times 100 divided by 4. For SP2's example 25 x 20 = 100 x 20 / 4 = 2000/4 = 500. That's the top half. Then divide by 3 so 500/3 (in my head) is 150-175. Close enough most of the time.

@@southernprepper1 so your answer is yes?

[@Wolphene]

Doesn't necessarily need to be for an invasion. Good info for hunting, prepping land for homesteading or checking distances for water, roads, etc.in your home site planning., Besides all that, as an example, it would be handy to know of odd activities in your area and the distance between you and that activity... might be a meth lab with somebody cooking up their stuff and they blow themselves up! But since you knew the distance, you prepped your area to avoid the brunt of the explosion because for some reason the local PD isn't responding to check it out.
