read the wind socks--it takes a lot of practice, but it's do-able. You'll need to understand full value wind (coming at 90 degrees) and half value wind (45 degrees). You'll even need quarter value (23 degrees) wind when making the really long shots.


**GA just said to think about the boss fight in COD4 where you had to snipe the guy--adjusting windage and elevation

Gotcha... gunna take a heck of a lot more playing with to figure it all out, but I am starting to understand.

Funny thing is I used to think mildot scopes were ranged. ie zero crosshairs at 100 yards, next line is 150 yards, next 200, etc,..

I did too....kinda sucked to learn that it ain't that easy---math was never my strong subject

check out Horus Vision scopes the made it all oooooooooooh so much easier, the demo for their ranging system kinda helps understand mildot ranging a bit easier too, combine it with their ATraq ballistics software and yer in shooting nirvana, now I just gotta save up the cash for My own instead of playin with other folks
BTW I know this is a very old thread but wth when somethin new comes out ya gotta give stuff an update

Picked up a SWFA SS 3x9-42 scope with mildot & it's mil/mil so that's going to be way faster and easier than moa/mil, but the scope also came with the mildot master so I can cheat if needed

Those SS are some damn good scopes brother. I just freaking wish they made the 16 and 20 powers a varible instead of fixed. Its great for target shooting and some pdog killing, but anything else it kinda sucks.
