Videos tagged with Minute of Angle

This video explains the fundamental differences between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MIL) as units of angular measurement used in rifle scopes. It clarifies that MOA is 1/60th of a degree, equating to approximately 1 inch at 100 yards, while MIL is 1/6400th of a circle, equating to 10 cm at 100 meters. The instructor notes that most precision scopes use quarter MOA adjustments, allowing for fine-tuning.

This video breaks down the differences between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MIL) units of measurement for precision rifle scopes. It explains their definitions, how they translate to adjustments at different distances, and clarifies that neither system is inherently superior. The choice between MOA and MIL ultimately depends on the shooter's preference and familiarity with either inches/yards or centimeters/meters for calculations.

This video critiques the internet's tendency to promote numerous specialized rifle builds (CQB, GPR, SPR, Field Rifle) for various SHTF scenarios. The instructor emphasizes that most individuals would be better served by mastering one reliable rifle platform and focusing on practical training, understanding ballistics, and considering their actual use case and physical capabilities. The core message is to avoid falling victim to consumerism and instead prioritize proficiency with a single, well-understood firearm.

This video explains how to properly zero a rifle using a bulls-eye target. It details specific adjustments for the M16A1 and M4 rifles, emphasizing the importance of aligning shots with the target's designated impact zones for both near (25m) and far (300m) zeroing. Understanding the value of sight clicks in Minute of Angle (MOA) is crucial for effective zeroing.

This video explains Minute of Angle (MOA) as a unit of angular measurement used for precision in shooting. It details how MOA relates to adjustments on optics and the size of shot groups at various distances, emphasizing its importance for accurate aiming and dialing in firearms. The instructor highlights that shooter skill is foundational to achieving tight groups, regardless of equipment.

This guide breaks down the concept of Minute of Angle (MOA) for long-range shooting, as explained by former special operations sniper Ryan Cleckner. It covers how MOA translates from an angular measurement to a linear distance at various ranges and provides practical methods for calculating and applying adjustments to hit targets accurately at extended distances. Understanding MOA is crucial for precision shooting.

This video likely delves into the comparison between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MRAD) as units of measurement for rifle scopes and ballistics. The creator is posing a question to the audience about their preference and usage, suggesting a discussion-based format or an evaluation of the pros and cons of each system. Expect explanations of how these units are used for aiming, adjusting optics, and calculating bullet drop or windage, with a focus on practical application for shooters.

This episode of Guns, Beer, & Therapy features discussions on new firearm releases like the Savage B.MAG Takedown and Mossberg Patriot, exploring their features, calibers, and potential uses. The conversation also touches on firearm accuracy, maintenance, and legal considerations in various states, offering insights for firearm enthusiasts and potential buyers. The show highlights community engagement and shared passion for firearms.

This video debunks the 'combat accuracy' and 'minute of man' myths, emphasizing the importance of understanding a firearm's actual Minute of Angle (MOA) capability. The instructor stresses that a minimum acceptable standard for rifle capability is 2-4 MOA, derived from the dimensions of a human silhouette. Consistent accuracy testing with specific ammunition and understanding environmental factors are crucial for effective threat neutralization and faster follow-up shots, rather than relying on vague terms that sell shooters short.

This video explains the importance of Minute of Angle (MOA) for effective rifle zeroing and long-range adjustments. The instructor, identifying as an average MOA instructor and drill sergeant leader, details how MOA is the universal language for firearm adjustments. He covers typical MOA requirements for military and civilian rifles, the significance of grouping shots before adjusting, and specific MOA click values for common optics like the CCO and ACOG, as well as iron sights.

This video emphasizes that becoming a competent Rifleman is about mastering fundamentals and understanding ballistics, not just consumerism and expensive gear. The speaker criticizes the hyper-fixation on LPVOs and offset red dots, advocating for simpler, more reliable optics like Aimpoint or EOTech red dots, or a Trijicon ACOG for specific applications. Key takeaways include understanding height over bore, MOA, ballistics (internal, external, terminal), and practical gear considerations like slings and weapon light switches.

Olympic pistol shooting demands extreme precision and discipline. The 10m Air Pistol target's 10-ring is only 11.5mm, requiring 5.7 minutes of angle accuracy, comparable to hitting a 5.7-inch target at 100 yards. 25m Rapid Fire Pistol involves shooting five shots on 4-inch targets in as little as 4 seconds. 25m Sport Pistol blends precision and rapid fire, with a 50mm 10-ring for slow fire and a 100mm 10-ring for rapid fire. The now-discontinued 50m Free Pistol required 4 minutes of angle accuracy on a 2-inch 10-ring at 50 meters, demanding rifle-level precision with a handgun.
