mil dot master.

What are your thoughts on these and how accurate are these things when you half to range a target that is smaller than 1 mil?

It works just fine. There is a section in the instruction manual that tells you how to perform those measurements. The accuracy will be your own ability to accurately resolve and measure the target, and knowing the exact dimensions as well. That is a whole other can of worms. The smaller you go, the greater the error when you're off by even minimal amounts of a measurement on either end. I'm pretty good at milling targets, but I have a PLRF-5 for a reason.

I've kept mine from the service... it's a good training aid (now) as I like to check myself with my range finder. God forbid if my RF ever goes down I'll have a means of figuring out the distance without electronics. Of course you'll need to know your intended targets size otherwise it's just a guest. For the coin, there's no reason why you shouldn't have one.

You use the window on the right to line up target size and then mil size, which goes below 1 mil in size and is much more finely broken down, and then look to the window on the left for the range. This is also how you use the Mildot Master with MOA.

I've used mine a bit. I was amazed at how precise you need to be. I definitely need more experience doing fractions of a mil. The difference between .2 mils and .29 mils sub tension can be the difference between a hit and a miss at 1000 yds. I use it as my backup to my Nomad/Vectronix kit. When you're dealing in whole mils, it's a very slick system, especially the inclinometer feature.

A few years ago I spent nearly an entire day doing nothing but miling prairie dogs and using the mildot master to establish the distance. Worked well and was awesome practice.

I try to read the direction booklet at least once a year. Great to review a lot of the thoughts and lessons there. Keep the LRF on hand to validate my mil training too, just like trying to read wind and then checking with the Kestrel.

Part of milling a target is being able to get the mil read down to the hundredth of a mil. As was already stated the difference between .2 and .29 is the difference between a hit and a miss. Like a tape measure and saw - measure twice and cut once..... mil twice if possible and hit with first shot.

Yep,,, It al boils down to how you break it down, I can usually read it from anywhere from .1 of a yard to 3 yards error so being out by 3 yards aint gonna hurt much, The man who made these God Bless him has given us something very special,

And its cheaper than an LRF and its Solar Powered so no Batteries to go flat..
