Re: Determining Target Size
(((target size in inches)/36)x1000/mils) = range in yards
OR
(target size in yards x 1000)/mils = range in yards
OR
(target size in meters x 1000)/mils = range in meters
(((target size in inches)/36)x1000/mils) = range in yards
OR
(target size in yards x 1000)/mils = range in yards
OR
(target size in meters x 1000)/mils = range in meters

Crap...you edited before I posted. Please disregard the formulas I posted.

Re: Determining Target Size
If my algebra is correct, then:
(range x mils)/1000 = target size
If my algebra is correct, then:
(range x mils)/1000 = target size
Re: Determining Target Size
Comprehend this derivation and YOU will able to solve for metric targets and ranges also.

I've tried the above suggestions, but still can't find the formula that works.

Thanks for the chart, but I'm still looking for the correct formula.

Re: Determining Target Size
Target size
_____________X 27.78
Mil reading
Example:
72" man (6ft tall)
______________X 27.78= 625 yards.
3.5 (mil reading)
Read your question wrong....

Re: Determining Target Size
I know the distance. I want to find the TARGET SIZE in inches.

Re: Determining Target Size
I just found the answer:
(distance to target in yards x mills) / 27.78 = target size in inches.
I just found the answer:
(distance to target in yards x mills) / 27.78 = target size in inches.

You realize that YOUR formula is identical to the second formula shown on page 1 (of 18) in the .pdf link above. A bit of algebra and you have the "T = .." variant of the Range Estimating Equation. Check?

If <span style="font-style: italic">my</span> formula was identical to the second formula, it would BE the second formula...but its not. After rearranging the second formula into another formula, it became <span style="font-style: italic">my</span> formula.
But thanks for the link, point taken
