Simply put,
the Mil-Dot is a way to estimate range with the scopes reticle. This type of reticle
was developed for military applications. The space between the dot centers is
equal to one milliradian (Mil). hence the name mil-dot. One Mil equals 3.6" inches at 100 yards,
or 36" at 1,000 yards. To use this system effectively you must know the
size of the target. For instance most people are an average of 6 feet tall or 2
yards. The formula used for determining range to the target is (size of target
x 1000 divided by number of mils the target covers). Hope this helps FixYa up.
