May 22nd 2022What exactly is Minute of Angle? Videos Explain MOAThis video, which has been viewed almost 1.9 million times on YouTube provides a clear explanation of Minute of Angle and how that angular measurement works. This term is often misunderstood by novice shooters. Ryan Cleckner, a former instructor for the 1st Ranger Battalion’s Sniper Section, explains the meaning of “Minute of Angle” and how to adjust for windage or elevation with 1/4 MOA clicks on the scope. This allows you to compensate for bullet drops at different distances and sight-in accurately. Ryan explains that a “minute” in angular degrees is just 1/60th. A “Minute of Angle” simply refers to 1/60th of an angle. It can be measured up or down (for elevation) and sideways (for windage). At 100 yards, 1 MOA equals 1.047? on the target. For simplicity, this is often rounded up to one inch. For example, let’s say you click up 1 MOA. It is approximately 1 inch at 100 yards or approximately 4 inches at 400 yards. This is because the target area measured with 1 MOA increases linearly with distance. This Gunwerks video explains how Minute of Angle subtends to approximately 1. For every 100 yards (well, 1.047?) To be exact This means that a Minute of Angle will increase in size depending on how far the target is from the shooter. This video explains Minute of Angle in a lengthy 24 minute video. It also uses multiple diagrams to show how MOA angular measurements work. The video also explains how MOA-based clicks translate to point-of impact changes at different distances.
