Distance Ranging
Equations for ranging distance to a target using mils
Because the actual or at least closest estimate of the height of your target
is the key part of above equations, you have to know the height of your tar-
get or heights of other objects nearby your target that are known to you.
As you can see the actual reading of your target is another key variable
in those equations, you want to put your rie on a steady rest as much as
possible so you could get an accurate reading. If needed using the smallest
measurement on the reticle to get the most accurate readings.
Example
Reading a 3-foot target (1 yard) at 2 mils gives 500 yards
Height of Target (Yards) x 1000
Mils Reading on Reticle
= Distance to Target (Yards)
Height of Target (Inches) x 27.8
Mils Reading on Reticle
= Distance to Target (Yards)
1 yard x 1000
2 mils
= 500 yards
Height of Target (Meters) x 1000
Mils Reading on Reticle
= Distance to Target (Meters)
