Enter the Minute of Angle and distance to the target into the calculator to determine the size of the shot group in inches. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.
Moa To Inches Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the conversion from MOA to inches.
I = MOA * D / 100
Variables:
- I is the size of the shot group in inches MOA is the Minute of Angle
- D is the distance to the target in yards
To calculate the size of the shot group in inches, multiply the MOA by the distance to the target in yards, then divide the result by 100. This formula is based on the principle that 1 MOA is approximately equal to 1 inch at 100 yards. Therefore, at 200 yards, 1 MOA is approximately equal to 2 inches, and so on.
What is a Moa To Inches?
A MOA (Minute of Angle) to inches is a measurement conversion used in shooting and ballistics. It is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/60th of one degree. In practical terms, a MOA is approximately equal to 1 inch at 100 yards, 2 inches at 200 yards, and so on. This conversion is often used to adjust rifle scopes for improved accuracy.
How to Calculate Moa To Inches?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Moa To Inches using the formula: I = MOA * D / 100.
- First, determine the Minute of Angle (MOA).
- Next, determine the distance to the target in yards (D).
- Next, use the formula I = MOA * D / 100 to calculate the size of the shot group in inches (I).
- Finally, calculate the Moa To Inches.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Minute of Angle (MOA) = 3
Distance to the target in yards (D) = 500
