I first wrote this paper in 2007, then updated it in 2016 to a much better version. It's an academic paper and a " down to the basics" about what a Mil and MOA are and a, "how did they come up with the range equations". Although you don't need this...

Newer version with minor edits.

I want to edit my original post above but can't seem to do it anymore. Is there a time limit on making edits? P.S. The link to the resources page in my original post no longer works as I changed the resource to an updated version. I merely want to insert this new link (below) in the original...

These two papers. one a more detailed version and the other a simplified version (very little math) explain mathematically what a Mil is, what a MOA is, what a Shooters MOA is and how they came up with the Range Estimation Equations. You don't need to read these to use your Mil/MOA scope, but...

I left most the trig out in the simplified version, but even in the more comprehensive version, I still give the reader the option of skipping over the math if they don't want to get bogged down by it. I clearly delineate where you should skip over and start reading again in the paper if that is...

RedRyder, if you go back one page to the bottom of page 18, you'll see I said: "Recall from page 12 that H/36 will convert inches to yards. Substituting that into the basic equation above, with H measured in inches and the output D in yards, the MOA distance equation now is: H inches × 95.5 /...

patriot07, my papers are just academic papers to give shooters an understanding of the basic math behind Mils / MOA and the Range equations. It's just for fun knowledge, or like I said, for help in putting yourself to sleep. I also stated that you don't have to know the math to use your scope or...

Thank you Sir.

I just added the new ones to the resources page, but I want to take down the older version. Can I do it or do you have to? Thanks, Bags

First, thank you. Second, yes, I would like to add these newer ones to the resources page and take down the old ones. Thank you.

patriot07 said: Just curious - why not just use a rangefinder? Yes, absolutely use a range finder first. But what if your batteries die, or there's some weather interference or some other reason you can't use it , these basics might get you there. Think of it as the S has HTF and the only car...
