Since I'm familiar with how big a deer is, or aoudad, antelope, etc, it gives me a good mental image of what the wind is supposedly doing at given ranges. It simplifies things for my feeble (and newbie to this Mils stuff) mind. Obviously I hold for wind with the Mil hashes (SWFA 3-9) but I like knowing the inches in drift as well. Call me weird.

Good stuff Formid. Thanks for taking the time. Jordan as well.


It's not a bad thing to know the linear equivalent to angular dispersion at a given range, given that our targets are linear by nature, and not angular, but when it comes to making shot corrections the point is to get away from feeling the need to convert angular numbers into linear ones, and then convert them back to angular again to dial them into the turrets.
