Determining Target Size
What is the formula by milling, for determining the size of a target in inches, at a distance which is known in yards?

I think this is it, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong... 
(yards * mils)/27.8 = target size in inches.
(yards * mils)/27.8 = target size in inches.

Yep that seems to work! I'm using 27.77 to divide by, and it comes out a hair closer.khw9mm wrote:I think this is it, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong...

Thanks man.
We have a target at our range at about 1040 yards up a hill, and I've always wondered what size it was, but was to lazy to hike my sorry ass up and measure it.

Re: Determining Target Size
((Target Size in Inches)(27.78))/Mils = Distance to Target in Yards
A little basic algebra and you can solve for any of the variables.
