Rifleman Knowledge Test

[C45P312]

Took this from another forum. Thought it was great test of knowledge

The below questions is a basic foundation for a Rifleman knowledge test. Each of these questions are covered and performed during the Trace Rifleman Program.
Give this shot, lets see how we all stack out on the answers and lets learn something today!

Please post below your answer sheet. I will give this till Nov the 8th and I will post the correct answers then in order.

This type of infomation skillset is what sets Trace Armory Group apart from the rest!

Thanks C45P312 for posting this on the hide.

I was going to but never got around to doing it. Lets see how everyone responds.

Thank you so much. Now I have go back and research as I was sleeping in class. (less than 50%)[/I]

 

[J.Boyette]

Are the questions regarding MOA referring to TMOA or SMOA?

SMOA is a false hood. MOA is MOA. IPHY is IPHY.

1: between 12 and 13 clicks, 12.5------ D
2: (wind in mph x distance in hundreds of yards)/ 15 is the only remotely close one Im familiar with------- D
3: milrad is milli-radian= 1/1000------- B
4: 19" x 27.778= 527.782/4.1= 128.72 (calculator)------ B
5: C i think
6: A
7: 60 MOA/ 3.438 moa per mil = 17.45------ D
8: A? Idfk
9: B
10: A? Idfk
11: B if meaning umbilicus
12: A
13: B and C, C being more relevant to the question
14: B depending in cartridge
15: B
16: A
17: C
18: I shoot at all times of day. Assuming this means wind direction ------ A
19: 3 x 10 x 1.047= 31.41-------C
20: 5 x 7.2= 36------- B
21: 9/5=1.8/3.6= 0.5 mil / 0.1 mil per click =5 clicks...technically----- D

Pretty fun John, thank you sir. I'm eager to see how dumb I am.

 

[Rob01]

The first question ruined it. Anyone who thinks in clicks and inches needs to do more homework.

 

[George63]

so how many remember what a radian is from trig?

so how many remember what a radian is from trig?

I remember: It was 1987. I skipped trig and test drove a Radian - One of the nicest compact 650 standards Yamaha made.

A few guesses in there lol.

1. 1 MOA = 1.047" @ 100 yards, 2.094" @ 200 yards /4= One 1/4 MOA click = .5235" 6.25" / .5235 = 11.94 clicks = D

2. If answer "A" read "distance in hundreds" that formula would work, but it doesn't so D.

3. B
4. B
5. C
6. A
7. 6,283.2 Mils in a circle/360 = 17.45 Mil in a Degree. D.
8. A
9. B
10. A
11. If you mean angled up or down, as in uphill and downhill, then the answer is D. If you mean angling or canting the gun to its side, which causes on e to shoot low (since no elevation adjustment) and toward the sights (because there is elevation adjustment) then holding high to the magazine side would compensate for this and A could be the answer.

12. A
13. A
14. B
15. B
16. A
17. C
18. A
19. C 1.047 x 10 x 3 = 31.41
20. B 3.6 x 2 x 5 = 36
21. .1 Mil = 1.8" @ 500; 9/1.8 = 5 clicks

Shoot Happy!

OP,

This sort of test is associated with training offers. It is designed to help shooters, who think they have no need for training, see that they actually do not know much about what is important to good shooting and therefore might benefit from some training. I like J Boys test. Interestingly, some folks don't see the application or relevance of the knowledge base promised to be revealed in the training offering and thus this sort of test may fail to persuade. I suggest questions which address the origins of common shooter/target errors as these not only expose the shooter to his ignorance but help him to understand why training may be helpful to be able hit the target. An example: Using the wind constant of 10, how much sight hold off in inches or sight adjustment in MOA would be required for a good hit on a target at 600 yards with a full value 10 mph wind?
