Mildot explanation

Post by fantumfan2003 » Fri Dec 19, 2008 2:20 pm

Dear All,

I am a "visual" person. Have been trying to understand mildot for the past couple of days. I have found what I consider the best page on the internet explaining mildot below.

http://www.wlopa.com/estimating_field_t ... stance.htm

Made a pdf of the page and attached it with this post for the "ship's library"

Manish

The above link seems to be dead. I created its pdf for download below

.. But frankly, I guess I am still confused ... maybe unless I observe this first hand on a mil-dot scope :)
