Over 24 years in the US Army Infantry and no one has ever explained this better. Well done!

Joe, you have a knack for putting the hay down where the horses can eat it. Excellent, as always. Thanks for being here.

Hey so a few things to point out that are often missed in explaining the difference in MOA vs MIL. As you correctly stated, both are angular based measurements. MOA being defined as 1/60th of a degree. MILs are defined as an arc length 1/1000th the radius. This is an important definition because it is directly proportional to target size (arc length) and distance (radius) making it a more useful definition than MOA. Additionally MILs are not a metric unit, they just correlate to metric well because of the base 10 nature. With MILs, one MIL is 1m at 1000m, 1y at 1000y, 1in at 1000in, the unit doesn’t matter. The very definition of MILs is based on target size to distance proportion as opposed to being defined by an angle in MOA making MILs a more useful definition. Also for those who make the case for MOA due to familiarity with inches, 1/10th MIL, a typical click value is also essentially equivalent to 1/3 MOA making it just as easy to use when thinking in inches, 3 clicks per inch at 100y.

I’m a new shooter in general and this video was really helpful. A lot of the other channels out there are breaking out the complicated mathematical equations that frankly is overwhelming for a beginner. This was straight to the point and fun.

I gotta tell you man - I have the utmost respect for people who have a physical impediment (like missing an eye) and bring levity into it by joking about it. Good on you man. That’s what drew me in. The information you provide is great as well. You’ve got another sub.
-
This is a topic that confuses even experienced shooters. Good explanation Joe. Quirky fact of the UK. We went metric in 1971, our speed limits are still in mph.
-
I'm taking precision machining right now and the math involved in it has helped me understand this video immensely.

Thank you for the video man. I'm a UK guy living in Canada just getting into target shooting. I'm much more comfortable with metric, but most videos I've seen explaining MIL still talk about it converted to inches. Hearing you talk about it in metric terms really sold me that i should get a MIL scope. 10cm at 100m is so easy to remember for me. Safe shooting man.
-
Valuable information and easy to understand. New and seasoned shooters can easily use it as a refresher class. Thank you.
-
Your video gets right to the important information. All signal, no noise. I learned more in a few minutes of watching your video than another long one. Thank you for your clear explanations! I'm too dang old to waste my time watching without learning anything.
-
I watched your old video on this. But this new one is much more informative. You actually answered a couple questions in this video that I could not figure out. Which was very frustrating. So thank you so very much for the updated version.

I haven’t see liqueur sold in 1/5 of a gallon in years. They sell it in 750ml bottles (slightly smaller) and , most dropped the alcohol content from 86 proof to 80.6 proof. Each hoping the buyer wouldn’t notice the changes. With that came price increases as wall. Good info on scope confusion as well.

I am new to scopes, and struggled to convert my 100yd per click to my 25 and 50 meter airgun range. This helped a lot. Thanks
-
THANK YOU! This is the video I needed. Found my ideal scope but it's in MIL so needed to learn fast!
-
I am from UK and I was brought up with feet and inches and still use it as my preferred measurement.
-
You the man buddy. Another video that is sure to help a lot of people. Have a good one! Stoti

Just stumbled across your channel, thanks for making this so less complicated for us noobs, I’m enrolled in a basic level-1 distance course coming up and this was extremely helpful!!

Thanks Joe that did help alot!! Been shooting a long time and never really understood ,but that cleared that up nicely !! Thank you!!!!
