There's a good story from the Finnish military of a couple of young fellows doing their national service on an island along the southern coast of Finland, they have orders to do rangings on all Russian registry vessels, especially military ones, to make sure that they do not violate Finnish waters. Well as any soldiers on a tedious watch, they get bored and fed up with having to manually use an optical scope and a recognition book to range their targets so they decide to use their laser rangefinder on a Russian destroyer. Not long after they do, their Lieutenant kicks their door down and starts yelling at them to turn their damn radio on, as every Finnish position was screaming bloody murder at them to turn their laser off, as the Russians had been threatening to bombard them, as they thought the laser was a targeting laser signaling an imminent attack. Not a lesson they were likely to forget I reckon.

@@psychosneighbor1509 to be fair you don’t just sit in a classroom for four days. Generally courses such as these have an academic portion and the rest is applying principles they’ve been teaching. Look up racing school sometime if you want to see expensive instruction that you could “just look up on the internet instead” lol. 😉 Spending some time one-on-one with an instructor can help correct some invisible bad habits, prepare you for scenarios you hadn’t thought about, and motivate you to grow. I’m fairly experienced with handguns but my last instructor was especially demanding on me. Kept pushing me so I didn’t stay in my comfort zone. It was fun, worth the price.
mm / mils = m. Target height in millimetres divided by mils equals distance in metres. In a previous video the instructor says MRAD are not metric, but also says both MRAD and the metric system are base 10. This is very handy bit of information. Sure, you can work in whatever units you prefer, but the metric system lends itself to this easily. In the field, his 15" target becomes my 375mm. 375mm / 3.5mils = 107m, his result from the pocket slide is in yards, 115 yards, which converts to 105m. 375mm / 1.5mils = 250m, his result is 280 yards, or 256m. 375mm / 0.7mils = 535m, his result is 590 yards, or 539m. Note the pocket slide version is rounded to convenient numbers. For a 15" target the actual distances are: 3.5mils is 119 yards or 108m. 1.5mils is 277 yards or 254m. 0.7mils is 595 yards or 544m. One might argue I'm building imprecision into the calculations by converting every 1" to 25mm up front instead of using 25.4mm, but I would counter that with the pocket slide also has imprecision built-in by rounding to convenient numbers. In all fairness, if I were shooting distances where precise calculations become critical, I would be converting by using 25.4mm to the inch. If an instructor were to say to me a plate is 24" x 24", I hear 600 x 600 (every 4" is 100mm, near enough). Using the same examples through the scope (FFP MRAD reticle) there's only one other calculation to do, whether it's done upstairs, with pen and paper, or with a calculator: 600 / 3.5 = 171m 600 / 1.5 = 400m 600 / 0.7 = 857m Using 24" and the given three mil values: 190 yards (converts to 174m), 444 yards (406m), and 952 yards (870m). Lastly, if the target was about 6' in height, that'd be about 1800mm to me. 3.5mils is 514m (actual 522m), but that'll do, at least for that distance. 1.5mils is 1200m, so getting a bit leggy, there. 0.7mils is 2570m... I'd probably take a bus and get a bit closer for that one.
On conversion of inch to metric, use 25.375 mm to an inch.....in other words use 25mm + 1,5% Your 600 becomes 609 without much hassle and is very close to 609.6! When dealing with pi (3.14159), calculate with 3 + 15% and you look like a genius doing these calculations in the field (but you're simply being clever).
I have had the same issue. The guys looked strangely at me when they saw I had strapped it onto my backpack. Really inconvenient instrument to use in the field.
@@Ulvetann Same. Went shooting for the first time and I figured they were gonna make fun of me for being a noob. Sure enough, they saw me carrying this thing and pointed and laughed uncontrollably.

You do still need to understand how to read mil-dot and calculate the range. Sometimes you don't have a range card (he's using a Mildot Master), you might need to do it in your head.
I think the instructor forgot to mention how the relation between distance and height is inversely linear. So if a target with a height of 2 markings on the reticle is 100m away, then the same target at a height of 1 marking is 200m away. Then you only need to find the height-to-distance ratio at one point, and other distances can be found using the reticle itself.
I've been playing ARMA and Squad for awhile and the video game guides never help. Out of everything I've seen, this is the best advice I've gotten in months...
He says he doesn’t teach to use a range finder because there’s not much to it but point reticle at known size target pull out cheat sheet and cheat isn’t much either
He briefly mentioned formulas you can use but didn't get into them, maybe it was later in the lesson. The formulas are basic trigonometry, it's a basic right angle triangle with 1 known side and 1 known angle. 1 known side = Object of known size centered on the reticle, divided by 2 1 known angle = Degrees/Minutes/Seconds of the markings on the reticle to the top of the object you're sighting. Horizontal distance = known side divided by tan(angle) Either you whip out a cheat sheet or you whip out a calculator. Either way, you're whipping something out. ~_^ Edit: or the mils thing, that works too.

Remember to set parallax on scope before milling the target. Out of focus = object appears larger. Also I prefer the reticle "MSR" for milling targets. Works fine if you get some practise.
Agreed ! 4 decades ago I used a duplex ret and subtended via the mag ring on a 16 inch deer chest average for My area then i used a carbide scribe to scratch a mark and range on the mag ring . Worked great at several realistic hunting distance in My area .
@Log Splitta Or, as he clearly stated in the beginning, get an MOA reticle/ turreted scope. As he said, they both work the same way. Only the tacticool(keyboard commandos) keep saying "MRAD is better...." Charts are available for both. Most hunting scopes are MOA. If you have more than one rifle with scope, stick with one system and become excellent at using that system. They work the same.
Most american thing ever... Massive gun, holstered side arm even though he is teaching massive american flag in corner of room and patriotic picture frames on wall
I love my mildot master. It's one of my best long range shooting tools I ever bought period. You can even switch to MOA by removing the card and flipping it over.
Im an artillery observer and this method can be used on a greater scale, to be more specific I've used it on tanks, and other vehicles, even dismounted men, at multiple kilometers away.
I'm going to dedicate all my financial savings into the development of a new bullet that has two selective targeting modes: (Extreme Prejudice Precision and Everyone in the room)
So, what is the *FORMULA* to calculate these numbers? Can't make one of those "simple tables" if I don't know how to calculate those numbers! which make the whole video kind of pointless. :(
Pretty sure this is from a class, so this is just a snippet of it. If you really want the formula then just google how to rangefind with a MIL or MOA reticle. Ain’t that hard to at least search it up
This man is a god! Wish he was with me at DamNeck at designated marksman school back in 2002. External ballistics. Beautiful. All of this makes sense to me as a half ass sniper in the Corps.
Excellent video! I shoot PRS matches and prefer MOA. We might not know all of the distances, but we know the target sizes. I can easily range by zooming into the target and use my reticle to calculate. Target size in inches × 95.5 ÷ reticle measurement in MOA = distance to target in yards. The procedure is the same for MRAD, but the multiplier is 27.77 instead of 95.5 Even though most precision shooters are using MRAD, and it seems to be the military standard worldwide, I personally prefer MOA. I'm just faster with MOA, especially in a situation where I need to make a very quick adjustment, I can round the 95.5 up to 100 to make quicker calculations. It might not be exact, but the vast majority of the time will get me close enough to bang steel with the next shot. And MOA just makes more sense to me in my head.
What do you mean by reticle measurement? I was looking for an answer to the question of; where does the scope power become involved into this equation?
This is a good physics exercise. “Zoom”=image size/ real size= image distance/ real distance. This way if you know the distance in the lenses of the scope and the zoom, you can calculate the distance of the object
Fun fact, most of Soviet scopes including PSO-1 actually has a sort of small things that you can use for range finding purpose on right side of their reticle.
Wish I had this information 40 years ago .It would have saved me a few ammo cans full of ammo shooting predators. Both two legged and four legs. I have been a long range shooter from a young age

If you want more info, Ryan Cleckner did numerous outstanding quality videos with the National Shooting Sports Foundation RUclips channel Dude was a Sniper Team Leader in the 75th Ranger Regiment, Sniper School Instructor, and has taught endless civilians. Plus he's got a best selling long range handbook, and he's a 2A attorney. Definitely look him up
ha, it really is only left ear audio. i always leave my right ear open to the outside so that i can listen to my surroundings and had no idea it was left audio only
Not sure how it compares to real ones, but in FPS games the sights that seem to work the best have the converging parabolic lines coming from both sides. It's kind of idiot-proof to adjust elevation until the thing being shot fits right between the lines. (Not all games have accurate sights, but the ones that do - that type is sufficient for ranging.) Not sure the name of it, but that particular marking system doesn't have any mental math involved. For the bazooka/RPG it's the width of the frontal vehicle profile that gets matched up, and for infantry weapons it tends to be the shoulder width.
Most games won’t have bullet mechanics accurate enough for the reticle to make a difference what does make a difference is reference points and a cross section so you can get a feel for what mil you should aim with at a certain estimated distance

My left ear is loving this guys voice
I understood almost nothing but I watched the whole thing lol.
I like old school dudes teaching stuff.
I love how there's low volume lounge music in the background of this.
I don't know who I was expecting to teach this but I wasn't surprised
@2:54 judging by how much the marker is faded out , he's done this class many times lol good stuff
DMR power! Love it.. I have several of them...
My left ear now knows how to range without a range finder. Thanks.
My left ear loved this video
HAHAHHA was looking for this comment
Nice thing to know!!! Now all I need is that Savage riffle I been eyeballing to put it to use... lol
There are three variables. Range, angle, know size of object in view. Have any two, you can calculated the third.
My left ear is really enjoying this video.
My left ear is very well informed, my right ear had no idea what was happening
This is a good physics exercise. “Zoom”=image size/ real size= image distance/ real distance. This way if you know the distance in the lenses of the scope and the zoom, you can calculate the distance of the object
The Boogaloo is near my brethren! We must be prepared tac santa has spoken!
Fun fact, most of Soviet scopes including PSO-1 actually has a sort of small things that you can use for range finding purpose on right side of their reticle.
Like a good math teacher with a disdain of calculators. This man knows his stuff.
Wow really well done! Thank you
How did I get here... Have not watched anything gun related for a long time...
Glad I did though. This was interesting.
Wish I had this information 40 years ago .It would have saved me a few ammo cans full of ammo shooting predators. Both two legged and four legs. I have been a long range shooter from a young age
This guy is great.
Best Warzone Tips from Santa.
Santa had enough of everyone putting up Christmas stuff in November he's going to snipe us
My right ears's loving the sick beat
I bet his DOPE book, is extensive!
Yards, inches and millimeters. I'm going to have a stroke
My left ear enjoyed this lesson.
Does it matter if you have a second focal plane optic because the mil/moa chand on magnification.
needed this in BF4
This is a pretty good basic intro to the concept.
If you want more info, Ryan Cleckner did numerous outstanding quality videos with the National Shooting Sports Foundation RUclips channel
Dude was a Sniper Team Leader in the 75th Ranger Regiment, Sniper School Instructor, and has taught endless civilians. Plus he's got a best selling long range handbook, and he's a 2A attorney.
Definitely look him up
Great, like the kind of humor this Guy has!it woud be greater if it was my own language !!
thank you
ha, it really is only left ear audio. i always leave my right ear open to the outside so that i can listen to my surroundings and had no idea it was left audio only
I like those Russian scope with built in range finder on the scope.
my left ear loves this video
Trig super useful stuff
Not sure how it compares to real ones, but in FPS games the sights that seem to work the best have the converging parabolic lines coming from both sides. It's kind of idiot-proof to adjust elevation until the thing being shot fits right between the lines. (Not all games have accurate sights, but the ones that do - that type is sufficient for ranging.) Not sure the name of it, but that particular marking system doesn't have any mental math involved. For the bazooka/RPG it's the width of the frontal vehicle profile that gets matched up, and for infantry weapons it tends to be the shoulder width.
Most games won’t have bullet mechanics accurate enough for the reticle to make a difference what does make a difference is reference points and a cross section so you can get a feel for what mil you should aim with at a certain estimated distance
Very well done, thanks George Lucas!
Russian scope PSO-1 with its scale is way simplier
My right ear is bopping to this music
thanks this really helped my teacher has been really annoying
Thank you
Does it matter if you have the scope zoomed in?
Excellent vid
