In my searching on this forum I've seen lots of threads about MIL/MIL vs MOA/MOA and I've seen descriptions of MOA vs SMOA or IPHY but I really haven't seen any MOA/MOA vs SMOA/SMOA threads.
I feel like because of my reading I pretty clearly understand the differences between the three. Based upon what I've read I'm primarily attracted to MOA because I only have to visualize dividing a MOA into 4 rather than having to visualize dividing a MIL into 10.
For some reason I used to be really opposed to SMOA or IPHY but as long as you can get the turret and reticle to match on that, theoretically it would be even easier to do the mental calculations with SMOA or IPHY than it would be to do the calculations with MOA or MIL as far as I can tell. Am I wrong on this? If not, why is SMOA or IPHY not more common? Thanks.
