Moderators Volcano Posted August 12, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2011 could someone please tell me the different mil measurements for the lines on the reticle of the M1's GPS please? It would help me in my manual range engagements.IAW GTA 17-6-33, center circle is 1 mil in diameter. Horizontal lie to either side of that circle is 2.5 mil from center of circle - the line itself is 2 mil long. Next horizontal lines (the parallel set of lines) are 5 mil from center of circle, the lines themselves are 2.5 mil long. The outer horizontal line is 1 mil from the set of parallel lines, 7.5 mils from center of circle, and the itself is 2.5 mil long. From center of circle to top of furthest horizontal line is 10 mil.Ugh, a picture would probably be less confusing but hopefully you can get the idea... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted August 12, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yes, the pictures are much more helpful. In this case they are worth 94 words. :shocked: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
