The Overwatch - Long Range Shooting

Episode XXll - Knowing The Error: Increase Your Hit Probability


Listen Later

You’re not going to hit your target 100% of the time. And if you are, you need to move your target further back or make it smaller. Missing the target is part of long-range shooting, but there is a way to help increase your hit probability. That is simply by understanding the errors in the system. If you know the errors and how to incorporate them into your calculations, you can increase your chances of an impact.


Mil Formula


Target SIze (in) x 27.77 / Target Size (Mils) = Distance (Yards)


8*27.77/.42=528.9 yards


Wind Formula


Wind Speed (mph) / Gun Number x 1/1000 of Distance x Sine = Wind Correction in Mils


   10/4*.53*.25=.33 mils


Target Wind Speed


Target size in mils / 1 Mph wind effect


   .42/.03=14 mph
