Understanding Mils
In long-distance shooting, precision isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you're a law enforcement sniper, a military marksman, or a dedicated civilian shooter, mastering the concept of 'mil' (milliradian) can elevate your game. But did you know there are three different mil systems in use today?
From the U.S. military's 6400 mil system to the Russian military's simplified 6000 mils, each offers unique advantages. And for the math purists? The 6283 mil system aligns perfectly with the radian, providing unparalleled accuracy.
But here’s the kicker: even slight variations in these systems can mean the difference between a hit and a miss at long range. With the right mil-relation formulas in your arsenal—whether you’re calculating in yards, meters, or converting inches—you’ll be equipped to dominate in any scenario.
