ONE M.O.A. Question

[Flopsweat]

COS is adjacent over hypotenuse.... Geez... nerd much?

All of you math nerds can just kiss my hypotenuse.

MOA... minute of angle... which means that the 1'" at 100 yards will be 10" at 1000 yards in a perfect scenario. Ammo differences,
wind, coriolus, altitude, humidity, temperature, distractions, are all real things that change outcomes. So are mirage and glass quality.

* 1.047" at 100 yards, 10.47" at 1000 yards.

I get it, some guys just want to eat pi.

This guy gets me.

 

[solv3nt]

This guy gets me.

I'll bet you're a raspberry pi fan.

 

[Flopsweat]

I own 3.

So, if I have a Rifle that Shoots One MOA at 100 yards,

Then I move Out to 1000 Yards.

The ONLY Variance Should be due to WIND, yes?

Or NO?

IF NO. What am I Missing?

No. The next thing your missing is trajectory before worrying about wind.

..to simplify this.

Also, coriolis effect will push the bullet either high, low (if you're shooting east/west) or right (or left if you're in the southern hemisphere) a little - usually between 2 and 6 inches. The target moves under your bullet while it's in flight.

Flop, c'mon.

 

[Mono1]

I don't think @Mono1 can even see that far.

Thanks to @po18guy @wired and @drstrangelove for their input (also @OldBroad44 )

I think those responses were most helpful to my understanding.

So.... if I hear you right, you don't approve of my input.

 

[OldBroad44]

I think you're looking for tangent, not sine; sine is opposite over hypotenuse.

Make sure you don't get stomped by the hipopotamus.

Are you calling @Stomper a hippo?

No. But, God Bless Yer Heart! (in the Colloquial Tennessee sense).

stomped by the hipopotamus

OHhhhh! I SEE what you DID There!

Beware when the tail starts spinning.

Rather than overthink, just get out and do 200, 300, 600, and then 1K.
This is a case where trigger time and empirical learning matter.

For the record, I'm a hypothalamus…. because of my big brain and large thoughts.

 

[OldBroad44]

No. But, God Bless Yer Heart! (in the Colloquial Tennessee sense).

That's "Bless yer heart, hon."

Errr... It''s 'hyper' that means big/large....

I think you're just obtuse.

 

[TTSX]

I think you're just obtuse.

All the ladies say he's acute
