Mil dot test game

We'll address the range finding system first. Most Mil Dot scopes are set up to range find at 10X magnification. However, some scopes do it at whatever particular magnification the manufacturer has set the scope up for.

Please note: Every Mil Dot scope has to be set at a specific magnification when you are using the reticle to estimate range.

Be sure to set your scope for the proper magnification when ranging. Chest Height Mil Dots. Antelope or Deer Distance. The idea is to read distance by simply looking thru your scope while aiming.

No complicated calculations Just look and know the distance. Explaining how it works makes it seem more complicated than it is, so please bear with me as we go thru the numbers. Yet, the shot is real and will hit the target if you apply the right corrections. When using the Sniper view, you will have the vision of the field and you could use the Glock handgun to defend yourself from short range. You can switch to the sniper mode anytime. This sight allows you to aim at the target with a Mil-Dot reticle.

You can switch back to the sniper mode anytime. The spotter view is more complex. It allows you to correct your calculations to adjust your shot but you need to understand the complexity of external ballistic affecting a bullet trajectory. This view shows all the ballistic and weather data you need to rectify the directional trajectory of the projectile for it to hit the target.

This simulator allows you to adjust all the parameters of your projectile, as in reality. In order to get as close as possible to the real ballistics of your rifle.

You can test and compare, you will see that it is not hazzard. There is real ballistics, and the ball is deflected at every distance as in reality. I am an expert in shooting, and it has taken me years to develop this algorithm.

Do not hesitate to chat with me so that we can further develop this simulation. The projectile database is made of more than rounds of ammunition so that you can get as close as possible to the round of ammunition you want by adjusting the following parameters : Ballistic coefficient, Muzzle velocity, Weight bullet or Caliber. These are the most common and found in Leupold as well as many other makes of rifle scope.

I include them here on the odd chance someone comes across an old USMC scope. To range a target to a tenth of a mil we need to build a stable position just like if we were going to send a shot downrange. Any tremor is going to cause problems. Crank that through your calculator and you see that our target is yards away. In this image we can see that our innocent little friends are taking a stroll.

Our loader is more than two and a half mils tall, but that's not going to cut it. If we look closely at where his foot falls above the third mill dot we can begin to break it down. With your minds eye, split that mildot in half. That half mildot measure 0.

Now you can't quite fit that half mildot between his foot and the top of the whole mildot, so we break it down again. This gives us 0. Now add that to the "half" mildot and we get 0.

If we subtract 0. Add back in the two mils above that and we get a measured height of 2. Lets assume that our militant here is 64" tall from our intel reports. Let's plug that into our formula. If we didn't go to the trouble of breaking it down and just rounded it to 3 mils we would have come up with In this case that would have resulted in an elevation error of about 12" with MLR. Breaking the dot down to. When the target won't stand still, or you do not know the height of your target you can use objects nearby.

In the city this is pretty easy. Out in the woods it's a bit more difficult. If you have several objects in your field of view, range the largest first. Larger targets will generally give you more accuracy. Ranging several targets and taking the average will also cut down your error.

After time you may notice patterns to your errors. It's good to note these so that in the future you can take them into account. A laser rangefinder is an excellent tool to have to confirm your calculations when you are learning to read mils.

If you are working with a spotter, both of you should do the calculations independently and then take the average. Mildot ranging is an excellent skill, but is only as accurate as you are. It is also slow and difficult to use on moving tagets. In this a laser rangefinder excells. However, batteries die and electronics fail. Backup skills are nice to have. All dimensions are approximate and should be verified by the user.

When possible it is a good idea for you to actually go out to the areas you work and measure common items. If you find yourself frequently in the same housing projects, then measure some windows and doors.
