At 7:20,anybody understand what he's saying? I understand the question to be 800m with 6mph wind: Using the under 600m formula gives 0.8 x 1 + 0.2 = 1.0 mil Vs over 600m formula .8 x 1.5 = 1.2 mil, (which he confirms by saying difference of point 2) but then he says "we're off our wind call nearly a minute of angle...?" I'm real confused by this statement...
The instructor is Todd Hodnett, President of the Accuracy First Company in Canadian, Texas. Todd invented the Horus and TreMor reticles. Americans switch between imperial and metric all the time.
@@whomagoose6897 No, US Military do I guess, but civvies usually get a deer in the headlights look unless they have a degree in science. Maybe the modern curriculum is addressing this, but certainly not the case for the Americans I went to collage with 20 years ago.
@@wilfdarr I cannot speak for others, but, I learned both Imperial measurements just by being in America. All metric measurements were learned in science classes at schools. Especially any classes concerning chemistry or medical knowledge. My largest exposure to the metric system was the US military, US Army. For some things I rather use imperial measurements. Any time I have to buy gasoline in liters instead of gallons I feel cheated. I have more of an intuitive understanding of miles, yards, inches, gallons, pints and ounces. Other imperial measurements such as: pecks, bushels, rods, chains, acres, ricks and cords of wood, are measurements not typically used. Pecks and bushels are used for fruit and grain measurements. Rods and chains are used for land surveys. Acres are sections of land. Ricks and cords are a measurement of firewood. The other mathematical system I've seen is the use of fractions. Every American has been exposed to fractional units. Such as 1/2, 3/4, 3/32, 3/16. Most Americans have both Imperial and Metric sized wrenches in their tool boxes. Seems Europeans and Asians have little knowledge of fractions. Fractional forms are another way to represent decimal forms. Metric just moves a decimal point right or left and calls it a different name. 20-mm is the same as 2-cm. It's true that some people in America have little knowledge of a lot of things, just like any other country in the world. Some people in this world want to do something with their lives. While others just as soon rather sit around and constantly use drugs to stay comfortably numb. There may be a generational change in America. Schools no longer teach cursive writing in elementary school. Cursive writing was mandatory during my elementary school days. Then again no one had computers back then either. My nephews did not use Blue Books in their college classes. Composition papers for English classes had to be submitted prior to class by e-mail. I even used Blue Books during examinations. I don't think that Blue Books are even sold in college bookstores anymore. Blue Books were a small book of spaced paper, wide ruled lines, to write short answers or test essays for examinations. I majored in criminal law so I spent a fortune on Blue Books writing about appealate reviews of prior criminal cases. Blue Books had eight pages to write on.
@@whomagoose6897 That is absolutely a cultural thing and more a "what you grew up with". Take even shooting. 1 MOA is 1.047", makes it real difficult when you try to scale that out to bigger distances. Try mils. 10cm at 100m. Exactly. Easy peasy. I hate buying gas in the states. What the hell the prices have fractions and it's in gallons. I have no idea what MPG i have in my car only, how many L/100 km. Some things just make more sense brain wise, some is just a preference.
@@rfcdgaf : This is how I determine how many MOA's there are at any desired distances. Say if you use a laser range finder and get a 500 yard distance. For distances up to 999 yards, or 3-digits, use the first number to multiply. So it would be 1.047 x 5 = 5.235. There are 5.235 MOA's in 500 yards. Say if you have 500 meters. Then use 2.91-cm. 5 x 2.91 = 14.55. There are 14.55 MOA's in 500 meters. Say if you determine that there are two or more significant numbers. Say 563 yards. Then 5.63 x 1.047 = 5.89461 MOA's in 563 yards. Now for metric at 563 meters. 5.63 x 2.91 = 16.3833 MOA's. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! Only thing to do now is determine what to use to index you turrets. Take the ballistic drop of your bullet at the desired distance. Say you look at your ballistics manual and find there is 63 inches of bullet drop. 63 ÷ 5.89461 = 10.687729977046. Round this to 10.75 MOA, for yards, to index on your scope. How about metric? You find there are 203 cm of drop. 203 ÷ 16.3833 = 12.390666105119. Round to 12.5 MOA for your range turret, for meters. For ranges more than 1000 yards or meters use the first two numbers. So 1000 yards/meters use 10.00. Easy peasey, lemon squeezy! For me one is about as good as the other. Including gasoline. Say if you went 250 miles and bought 9 gallons of gasoline. 250 ÷ 9 = 27.777777777777. You can just say you got 27.75 mpg. In your car. Easy peasey, lemon squeezy!
Love this, watch it a few times. It makes sense.
Greetings sir, I want to ask formula 308 constant every distance
At 7:20,anybody understand what he's saying? I understand the question to be 800m with 6mph wind:

0.8 x 1 + 0.2 = 1.0 mil

but then he says "we're off our wind call nearly a minute of angle...?" I'm real confused by this statement...
no wonder i flunked 3rd grade math.
Ehhh. Video seams to be exactly what most long range windage is. Shoot, miss, adjust.
Distance in meters, wind in mph, must be Canadian...
