  • After we released the 1 MADL challenge we have noticed that some people do not full understand what MOA (minute of angle) actually is and how it works. So Žiga decided to make a quick video explaining MOA and why we use it to gauge accuracy.

    A physicist, an engineer, and a statistician go on a hunting trip. They are walking through the woods when they spot a deer in a clearing. The physicist calculates the distance of the target, the velocity and drop of the bullet, adjusts his rifle and fires, missing the deer 5 feet to the left. The engineer rolls his eyes. 'You forgot to account for wind. Give it here', he snatches the rifle, licks his finger, and estimates the speed and direction of the wind and fires, missing the deer 5 feet to the right. Suddenly, the statistician claps his hands and yells, "We got him!"

    While the diameter(moa) of the group is linear to the distance, the size(area) of the group is squared.
    1moa at 300yd has approximately 9 times the area of 1moa at 100yd.

    • @PolenarTactical
      @PolenarTactical  3 месяца назад +1

      Yes and no. I also prefer the miliradians because it's easier to integrate and use with metric system but much harder and confusing if you want to use it in US - they usually shoot at 100 yards, not 100 meters and use inches. So for them i think MOA makes more sense.

  • @somebrains5431
    @somebrains5431 3 месяца назад +1

    Moa is 1.047". This matters shooting past point blank using the old mixed moa-mil scopes. Holds on a tuned rifle + ammo + optic + turrets cut for known ammo would get trued at a given distance. This would dope the holds using a mildot reticle with moa turrets. Generally with 7.62x51 you're good to 600yds/550m before wind becomes a serious problem. Youre reduced to 400yds/350m with 5.56 before wind pushes you off a man sized target. This is for static targets, not ones moving around.
    Good to understand the math. Also good to true your holds. Point blank should be understood as the range the total package you are shooting can hit a target without drop. Somewhere in that math is how you setup a reticle so your holds work. If you setup too shallow within point blank distance BDC tends to be something you have to fight or memorize rather than use effortlessly.
    People tend to shoot military clone gear using surplus or mil clone ammo. They forget that 2-4moa works fine on an 18" wide target. They dont grok how effective distance works when solely concerned with hitting an 18" wide target vs a 1moa "5" scoring area on a 1000yd F class target.

    for a good visual representation, look up "inverse square law"

    • @PolenarTactical

      There is metric counterpart for moa.
      Moa is more familiar because guntubers tend to be american who still uses bodyparts and fractions of them
      to measure distances. Mrad may me a bit more unfamiliar for typical guy because it is
      more widely used in militaries. But principle is same as moa.
      Edit: Easy start up would be when typical Mrad scope have 1/10Mrad clicks
      which translates to 1cm at hundred meters.

      @Jay_Bird 3 месяца назад +3

      Maybe just think of it in terms of accuracy? If your rifle is calibrated to 1 MOA, that means at 100 yards, your rifle should be accurate to 1 inch - you should be able to produce groupings 1 inch in size. Then it goes up another 1 inch for every 100 yards, so at 1,000 yards, a rifle calibrated at 1 MOA will result in it being accurate to within 10 inches - that is, you should be able to a 10 inch grouping when you shoot several rounds through the gun. If your gun is calibrated to 2 MOA, then at 1,000 yards, you'll be able to get a grouping of 20 inches. Does this help at all?

    Let me go into "well ackchyually" mode:
    MOA is actually 1.047 at 100 yards. Not much of a difference, but a difference nonetheless :)
    Also in terms of accuracy "1 MOA group" is one that fits into a circle that is 1 MOA edge to edge. Area of this circle is π * (radius square) so if radius increases twofold the area increases twofold square, so fourfold, for trippled radius the area increases 9 times and so on.
    The area of 1MOA does not increaase linearly but geometrically with distance.
    "well ackchyually" mode off :)

    And approx 3cm at 100m for those of us who do metric. Any scope turrets do 1cm clicks at 100m?

      Yes, MIL/MRAD scopes - it's a better system for metric and also allows for better functionality regarding ranging and some other tricks.
      1 miliradian at 100 meters is 10 cm and most modern scopes have click adjustments that move per 1/10 miliradian which is exactly 1 cm :)
