    i came here exactly for an MOA explanation in regards to a red dot and got exactly what i needed. i just went through 3 articles and this was the simplest yet most clear explanation of what an MOA is in a 1/10 of the time. great vid!

      now what??? more confusing ?? 1 MOA = 1 Minute of Angle by definition?? right?? now you say 1MOA = 1/10 of what?? Sorry too confuse??

      @@ThepDenNgoaiBien 1/10th is Mils. 1 mil radian = 1centimeter at 100 meters. MOA is in units of 4. Four clicks = 1 MOA. One MOA is 1.0472 inches at 100yards.

    VERY HELPFUL!! I realize that there is much more that goes into MOA, and calculating long range shooting and whatnot. But for those of us that who recreationally shoot, and needed just the basics, and the ability to wrap our weary brains around the premise, this video is perfect to accomplish that goal, in 5min to boot!! Bravo sir, thank you!!

  • @jeremy74pow
    @jeremy74pow 6 років тому +2

    You said it right at the beginning. MOA is a term that gets thrown around. I been shooting 35 years and only really heard MOA thrown around heavy in the past year. Thanks for clearing it up for me, but to me it still doesn't matter. My rifle is either sighted or it ain't so I really don't worry about faddish technical terms.

    • @charlesludwig9173
      @charlesludwig9173 5 років тому +2

      OK, let's say your rifle is sighted in for 300 yards. The wind is blowing at about 10 mph from left to right. You have been told that much wind will displace the bullet about 9 inches at 300 yards. So, how many clicks of windage do you take on your scope, assuming the clicks have a 1/4 MOA value? If you do not understand how many clicks to take your only option is to hold off 9 inches. At any rate, the bottom-line is sights and scopes move in MOA and describe inches of movement at target distance. If you are zeroing for 100 yards and your first group is 4 inches high and 4 inches to the left, how many clicks, again 1/4 MOA value, do you need for elevation and windage. If you don't know you will shoot a lot of ammo guessing at how many clicks to take; but, understanding MOA you would know you need 16 clicks of elevation and 16 clicks of windage.

      Faddesh technical terms? Tell me you can’t shoot long range without telling me.
      MOA isn’t a fad. It’s been a reticle style and movement for scopes for decades.

    This was a very good explanation. I'm looking for 2 MOA red dots for my two AR-15's. After eye correction surgery in September, I can no longer see the iron sights with my right eye, and I'm a right handed shooter! That sucked. If anyone has a 2 MOA red dot suggestion, brand and model, please let me know. My uses are primarily home defense, and hitting something at 100 yards outside.

    This is exactly what I was looking for.
    My cheap red dot I got said it has a 5 MOA dot so I’m just wondering what it is.
    So what I am gathering is that if my AR shoots 2.5-3 MOA and my dot is 5 MOA and sighted for 100 yards, those shots are going to be inside of the dot itself. That’s actually really helpful.

    3 MOA = 3 inch deviation off center at 100 yards

    Making a geometry math problem out of it makes it only that much harder to understand. Now that we grasp the principals of it, learning the rest is that much simpler.
