Each time you "click" your turret, it's 1/4 MOA regardless of range (or whatever click value your scope turrets indicate). Assuming a 1/4 MOA adjustable turret, it takes 4 clicks to adjust 1 MOA, regardless of range. Also, as you near 500yards range, you need to factor back in the 0.047" you dropped off by using 1" instead of 1.047" or you'll miss by 1.30" (quarter moa at 500 yards). At 1000 yards that makes a half MOA difference (5.235"). Keep that in the back of your mind as range increases.
Nailed it!
So as he said he was off by 1.5 MOA he would adjust his scope by 6 clicks at 300 yards?
Great video. Are all your classes in MOA or do you teach Milliradian also?
Yes sir we can teach both without a problem. All of our optics and class room time is in MOA but we can help with the translation. Thanks for watching
One MOA at 100 yards. Or, four clicks on most scopes. This calculation remains constant regardless of range?
In other words, I’m shooting a 7 mm magnum at 300 yards. According to the Federal ballistics chart my round would drop 12.2 inches OR 3.9 MOA. I would need 12 clicks to compensate for the bullet drop?
Or, would I need three times this much since I’m at 300 yards and not 100? Or, 36 clicks of travel on the elevation turret? Thanks
Your first calculation is correct. 1MOA at 300 yards is 3” so if your drop is 12” that’s 4 MOA. Make sure your adjustments are 1/4” click, some optics are different Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the advice. 👍

so my scope says 4 clicks = an inch at 100 yards so why at 25 yards an inch is equal to 16 clicks? whats the math behind it?
At 25 the bullet doesn’t have time to rise, so it takes more adjustment. This is also why we use MOA/MIL as a measuring tool instead of inches.
Here’s an example
25 yards is 4 x closer than 100 yards so 4x the clicks
Going the other direction 200 yards being twice as far would have half the adjustment. 1” would equal 2 clicks. Hope that makes sense
@@OutdoorSolutions oh I understand now thank you so much I was like brain storming for 2 hours trying to figure out why that is thank you so much
So that would be 6 clicks on a 1/4 moa sight, no?
Which part?
I thought it would be 10 clicks if 1 MOA is 1/4 (4 clicks) for 1.5 MOA adjustment
@@DVLDOC8404 6
@@DVLDOC840410 clicks would be 2.5 minutes. Think in groups of 4 if you have a 1/4 MOA sight. 4 clicks is 1 minute, eight clicks is 2, 12 clicks is 3, etc. So that would make a half minute 2 clicks. 4+2=6 clicks for 1.5 MOA
I grew up hunting and I knew "Minute of Groundhog"...you miss him standing and he will look to the side where the bullet missed or duck if it went over. adjust point of impact visually in the scope and knock him right in the whistler. It took the military to complicate shooting lol happy shooting be safe!
Thats funny. Now if we could just get a ground hog to go elk hunting with us, we would be in business and have a lot more fun.
Nice explanation.
I guess @ 1000 yds, the rounded decimal (.047")is important, since shows a considerable difference.
Correct
Doesn’t your bullet take a factor in this. I mean I get what you’re saying here but what if my bullet drops more than 2 inches at 200. How do I factory the bullet in to know what to adjust for.
Yes every bullet will be different. We use a ballistic app called Geo Ballistics
That’s the app I want you to do a video on. I’m not understanding the app
Are you guys located in dallas?
3 hours West. We are 45 minutes North of Abilene.
Nice video but you should have included how many clicks on the dial that would be. I'm thinking six.
Great question. We don’t talk in”clicks” because there are different click values for different scopes.
Most are 1/4 MOA per click but some are 1/3, 1/2 and even 1/8. MOA newer scopes will say on top of the dial what your click value is.
So is this different than parallax error?
Yes two completely different things.
@@OutdoorSolutions so the moa is basically the accuracy of the scope at given yardage?
@@slicktmi think of it as a measuring tool to know what your holds are at a specific yardage.
@@OutdoorSolutions ahh ok! Thank you!
You bet, thanks for the questions@@slicktmi
Thank you🙏
Anytime! 👊🏻
1MOA group is a circle not a square. Corners of 1MOA squares are about 1.4 MOA apart from each other.
MOA @ 100 yards = 1" = 4 clicks (1/4" per click) to adjust 1" @ 100 yards. MOA @ 200 yards each click = 1/2". So to adjust for 1" @ 200 yards, that's 2 clicks. At 300 yards each click gets you 3/4". 400 yards each click gets you 1" of adjustment....out to 1000 yards each click gets you 10" of adjustment. And yes, I realize that the farther out you go that extra .047" does matter. But for me, just a simple hunter out West, I don't take game past 500 yards. My rifle is sighted in at 300 yards. 3/4" per click.
That’s the beauty of it, do what works best for you. 👊🏻
@@OutdoorSolutions Great video. Thank you. It can be confusing as heck. I have to keep it simple. Be safe.
@@freeman436 Awesome! Glad you liked it, we appreciate you watching.
You as well as many have gotten it WRONG !!! It is Minute Of Arch. When 2 pivoted lines separate or close, they form an Arch at the end, (not a straight line) that arch is divided into desired units: degrees, minutes, seconds, etc. In my time as an elementary student, in 6th. grade, we all learned about a circle having 360 degrees, 21,600 minutes, 1,296,000 seconds, 1,296,000,000 milliseconds, etc, no big deal, we were well educated and open minded, (not now, U.S. has changed all that by forcing an "Educative Reform" to keep students ignorant. )
Thank you Jethro. Please give Ellie Mae our best.
Thanks for watching.
Each click is 1/4 of a inch. Theese people are makeing it sound so much more complicated than it is. Wow! Are you just trying to make yourself sound smart or something. Shoot the damn gun. If it hits 3 inches to left of where you aimed then you need to go 3 inches to the right on scope. Each click is 1/4 inch so 4 clicks is an inch and you need to go 3. 3x4 =12 clicks to the right damn.
What we have here, is a failure to communicate. 🤦♂️
I'm confused 🤔
How can we help?
@@OutdoorSolutions
Thanks for the reply, I have a tendency to over complicate things instead of seeing it for it's simplicity. In other words I over analyze things lol.
All that and you don’t show us the clicks???? That’s what I watched for!!!! Frustrated
The clicks? What do you need to know about clicks?
Scopes can be different, most are 1/4 MOA per click, some are 1/2 MOA per click while others could be 1/3 or even 1/8.
So for that reason we only speak in MOA or MILS. Your scope should be marked as to how many clicks = 1moa
