Re: Mil-MOA conversion Technical question

It explained why. It's also what's necessary when shooting irons, that's to say, you're likely to take a wind favor rather than click to counter; and, you will be thinking, as you favor the post front sight, in inches not MOA, because length at target is easier to visualize in inches than an alternative unit of measurement. Of course, the reason you will not think anything about mils is the M4 and M16 A2/A4 are graduated in MOA, not mils. </div></div>
Sterling,
Irons?? You mean like this:
Sorry but I don't visualize in inches, preferring cubits myself, since we are talking about anachronistic sighting/measuring devices. Nor do I particularly favor a post sight.
And I suppose if I shot an M4 or M16 A2/A4 I would care, a bunch. But I don't. So what's necessary when shooting irons is of no consequence for me.
At one time I did, having the honor to shoot with USCG Shooting Team for a time, but that was a mere 40 years ago, and such skills are fungible in any event.
Since I in fact did comprehend your first post, and you deemed fit not to answer mine. So I can continue to talk about apples, while you blissfully babble about coconuts, since they both hang from a tree.
Or you can join the 21st century and answer why with using scope sights, and not iron sights, is converting MOA to inches in your head a necessary skill, and what it has to do with hitting your target.
Thanks,
Bob
