You think I haven't milled targets?



Should you know how to do it? Of course. But animals aren't steel plates that are exactly measured and known. Even during matches where the plate size is exactly known hit rates on 8-12 inch targets is pretty low.

The only thing the military uses mil ranging for is emergencies. It works better on humans being the we are tall and therefor have room for error.

What's the error if the deer we think is 17in back to brisket, is really 19 inches and we mill it at 1 mil? Answer- far from anything resembling accurate.
