Question 7

Angular Measurements

Answer 7

360 Degrees= 6,400 Mils

Question 8

1 degree

Answer 8

= 60 MOA

Question 9

1 MOA

Answer 9

=1/60th of a degree

Question 10

1 MOA

Answer 10

=1.047 inches/100 yds

Question 11

MOA

Answer 11

1 MOA= 1.047 inches @ 100 yds / 1 MOA= 1 in @ 100 yds
MOA size increases uniformly over range
There is an error of less than .5 inches @ 100 yds

Question 12

MOA in centimeters

Answer 12

1 MOA= 2.87 m @ 100 yds/ 1 MOA= 3 cm @ 100 m

Error is less than 1.5 cm @ 100 m

Question 13

Final Field Rounding

Answer 13

1 MOA @ 100m or 100 yds=1 inch

Error is less than .5 inches @ 900m or 1000 yds

Question 14

MIL

Answer 14

Same function as MOA
1 MIL= 3.375 MOA/ 1 Mil- 3.5 MOA
*Error is less than 1 inch @ 900 m or 1000 yds
