Think of MOA as Inches in Yards if it helps you remember.

i came here exactly for an MOA explanation in regards to a red dot and got exactly what i needed. i just went through 3 articles and this was the simplest yet most clear explanation of what an MOA is in a 1/10 of the time. great vid!
Same here... im in the market for a red dot and i needed to know
now what??? more confusing ?? 1 MOA = 1 Minute of Angle by definition?? right?? now you say 1MOA = 1/10 of what?? Sorry too confuse??
@@ThepDenNgoaiBien 1/10th is Mils. 1 mil radian = 1centimeter at 100 meters. MOA is in units of 4. Four clicks = 1 MOA. One MOA is 1.0472 inches at 100yards.
@@ThepDenNgoaiBien They meant this took a lot less time and was more clear than the multiple articles they read.
9 years later...still a great video! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
I'll probably forget it again since this is my 5th time in 2 years looking this up but for right now, you explained it perfectly and I know for now... Until the next time when I once again am here to acquire forgotten knowledge.
VERY HELPFUL!! I realize that there is much more that goes into MOA, and calculating long range shooting and whatnot. But for those of us that who recreationally shoot, and needed just the basics, and the ability to wrap our weary brains around the premise, this video is perfect to accomplish that goal, in 5min to boot!! Bravo sir, thank you!!
This was the first time I totally understood MOA. It's really not complicated at all. Thankyou for making the vid, a big help
+Ben Hunt Glad it helped. Thank you
Finally! I understand MOA!😎 Thanks Brother! Stay safe!🇺🇸
Excellent explanation...Bought a scope with 1/4 MOA at 100.yds..now I know that If I hit 1" away from the Center/target...I have to click 4 times....wow..wow..Thank you sir
1” at 100 yards. Simple and concise. Thanks. That definitely helps. Hopefully I can remember it 😊
Best and most simple explanation I've ever heard - very well done!
Just came across this. While I am a long time shooter and familiar with MOA this is a fantastic practical explanation. Well done.
Got a rifle watched this video and liked it. Got a new scope looked this up again and went to like it and realized I already did. Thanks man
You said it right at the beginning. MOA is a term that gets thrown around. I been shooting 35 years and only really heard MOA thrown around heavy in the past year. Thanks for clearing it up for me, but to me it still doesn't matter. My rifle is either sighted or it ain't so I really don't worry about faddish technical terms.
OK, let's say your rifle is sighted in for 300 yards. The wind is blowing at about 10 mph from left to right. You have been told that much wind will displace the bullet about 9 inches at 300 yards. So, how many clicks of windage do you take on your scope, assuming the clicks have a 1/4 MOA value? If you do not understand how many clicks to take your only option is to hold off 9 inches. At any rate, the bottom-line is sights and scopes move in MOA and describe inches of movement at target distance. If you are zeroing for 100 yards and your first group is 4 inches high and 4 inches to the left, how many clicks, again 1/4 MOA value, do you need for elevation and windage. If you don't know you will shoot a lot of ammo guessing at how many clicks to take; but, understanding MOA you would know you need 16 clicks of elevation and 16 clicks of windage.
Faddesh technical terms? Tell me you can’t shoot long range without telling me.
MOA isn’t a fad. It’s been a reticle style and movement for scopes for decades.
Im 65 years old and you done a Great Job of making MOA ver simple!!!!!
This is the first video I came to without reading anything prior either. As many others in the comments id like to say thank you for a straightforward and informative video!
It was Clear as mud. What an awesome explanation. Flawless victory.
That's a nice quality of the author's mind, that he could brake down a complicated theory, to the extremely simple explanation!
Good job, well done!
Glad to see you made it from where you came, enjoy and welcome to 'across the pond'!
You explanation was very understandable.
New shooter here.
Thank you!
Hilarious you're called Copper jacket TV. Cause that's what Cali prefers. Still love that you still upload even in such a place. Props to you instead of just kicking the bucket
even tho i had to watch it twice, i understood it the second time completely. it's completely clear to me now. thanks bro.
So… was he saying a 4 moa dot will physically cover a 4 inch portion of your target at 100m or that your round could strike within a 4 inch circumference at 100m?
THANK YOU for posting this. This is going on my favorites list. This stuff can get so confusing!
***** Thanks my friend. I appreciate the support.
K charge it ill stop by
Thanks that helps a lot !
Couldn't have been any clearer or easier 2 understand 4 a newbie just getting in2 rifles(have shot iron sites 25+yrs,shotguns,handguns, 22 marlin. THANK U!
Thanks for explaining that in layman's terms. I felt foolish asking anyone since I felt like I should've known what that meant. I'm sure from your video this is the simple and easiest way to describing moa. It way well understood the first time you went threw what it means, thanks.
You done a great job explaining that bro. Very easy to understand. I struggle with this and I just got my first long range weapon and my scope comes in today. This will help tremendously.
Just came across this video. Excellent concise and to the point explanation. Thanks!
Between this video and the one I saw from National Shooting Sports Foundation, I now understand and feel confident going out and shooting. Thank you.
Always heard this term thrown around but never actually understood it. But also always wanted to know what it meant! Appreciate the simple explaination
this was so very very easy to understand ,articles confused me ,this helps me out so much ,thanks very much
This was a very good explanation. I'm looking for 2 MOA red dots for my two AR-15's. After eye correction surgery in September, I can no longer see the iron sights with my right eye, and I'm a right handed shooter! That sucked. If anyone has a 2 MOA red dot suggestion, brand and model, please let me know. My uses are primarily home defense, and hitting something at 100 yards outside.
Probably the easiest to learn explanation of MOA. Thanks!
I am a mathematics dunce YET..........I could follow and understand exactly what you meant. Thank you very much mate.
Great, simple, yet thorough video... THANK YOU!
absolutely perfect crash course for understanding this. once you see this everything makes sense
Watching your vid has increased my accuracy. Dude solid info, love it thank you so so much.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
My cheap red dot I got said it has a 5 MOA dot so I’m just wondering what it is.
So what I am gathering is that if my AR shoots 2.5-3 MOA and my dot is 5 MOA and sighted for 100 yards, those shots are going to be inside of the dot itself. That’s actually really helpful.
Best explanation I've ever heard, easy, all comes together now. Thanks
Great job. Anyone putting your video down should just shut up and make there own. Lol
You explained it in the most simplest way so newbees could understand it. Now that we do all the extra numbers can come into play now.
Making a geometry math problem out of it makes it only that much harder to understand. Now that we grasp the principals of it, learning the rest is that much simpler.
Again good job.
🌟Xcellent video - direct , simple explanation to get ppl started - Very Helpful - Stay Strong Patriots 🌟
Thanks for posting this. Thank goodness for RUclips 🙏🙏
Easy to follow explanation. Very helpful. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for explaining the moa on a red dot that had me very confused and I have not been able to find many videos that explain this so thank you sir
Was always embarrassed to ask but you explained perfectly
1 MOA = 1 inch deviation off center at 100 yards
2 MOA = 2 inch deviation off center at 100 yards
3 MOA = 3 inch deviation off center at 100 yards
etc.
Thanks so simple put, 4 clicks up on my moa scope means 1 inch. Because my scope has 1/4 clicks. I went to other sites and they talk about so much other information that you simply get board and your telling them pro's to shut up and simplify it. Thanks for this video, not all of use people are compitetion shooters
Great and simple explanation of confusing concept. Thanks
Good way of explaining it. Made simple and very understandable. Thx man!
Thanks for the explanation.. your explanation with others made it easy to understand.
good solid information, the amount of coverage got it for me, thanks
Great vid man! Haven't found a better explanation of MOA than this.
What is it at 25/50/75 yards? 1/4, 1/2, 3/4? Thank you for your video!
Man you just helped me out a great deal!!! Thanks!!! ...no longer frystrated.
Bravo!
Very clear explanation 👍
I understand it now.. ( much better) then I use to .. great, simple explanation... thanks:)
Great video! I've seen some vids which make my eyes roll to the back of my head, like precalculus all over again.
i had to watch this 4 times. to get it. im realy bad at math
+FASTPISTOLDRAW lol sorry. I took an easy thing and kinda over explained it.
The Daily Shooter compared to others watching up to 5 times this vid is much more simple props
he is bad at math too, wiki it, its will be more clear.
Now I get it, thanks for putting it in easier to understand terms!
Great video, explanation in laymen’s terms.🤙🏻🇺🇸
Best and simplest explanation... Thanks!
I already knew what MOA was but I watched and liked anyway. Thanks.
BB Gunner LOL thanks BB
Here learning about this. Thank you.

Nice explanation. I come from surveying background. Definitely not terms everyone uses everyday.
OHHHHHHH...That was very clever to learn...i came across this term in Better Call Saul and really peaked my interest. thanks for information and very well explained, def makes you look like you know your gun stuff ahaha
thank you it gives me a much better understanding of how it works and now I can share it with others! =)
Great simple explanation!!
thanks for making this video, now i could figure out the moa to the mildot reticle
Best explanation so far. Thanks..
SHPD755 I appreciate that. Thanks

Such a solid channel.

Hey man just wanted to say thank you. I under stand it better.
Now I understand it. Your video was very informative. Thanks!
why the hell they even came up with that moa bullshit, inches is clear enough.
your explanation was so comprehensible. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the video.. I was confused as hell until I saw this video.. Thank you thank you!!!
That makes it pretty simple. Thanks!
Thank You....best and simplest explanation I've seen!
Well done, thank you for your time & effort
“Due to rising cost of ammo don’t expect a warning shot” lmao!! That’s amazing
An absolutely succinct explanation. Much appreciated!
Thank you for using layman's terms. Very informative video.
This really cleared some things up for me thanks
Very good explanation!
Concise information. Much appreciation.
Very straight forward explanation. Great post. Thanks for sharing it.
Dj Project Thanks Dj.
Great explanation, now it all makes sense.
Very hepfull! great job explaining!!
Good video… clear and concise 👍🏼
Great Video, but I'm rather new at this, so I'm going to be repetitive and continue to watch this video so this way I can get the point. Thanks !!
+Tether Plus Watch Ryan Cleckners videos on long range shooting also
Perfect vid! I am sighting in a new rifle and this helped a lot. Someone check this math: My scope is rated "1 click= 1/4"@100 yards", I'm going for 50 yards, so to adjust 1 inch, I turn the knob 4 clicks@100 yards, 8 clicks@50 yards, and 16 clicks@25 yards?
Great description.
Great explanation now I understand
Thank you so much for that video!! Now I get it!! It was so confusing to me!
Great explanation on this, thanks
Thanks very helpful for newer people 👍🏽
Awesome information!!! Thanks
Your good deed of the day is done, Good job Daily
***** LOL thanks I feel better now
Soooo simple ... thanks mate .. really ...
Thank you...great explanation
