How many clicks must you move and in what direction. (Elevation and Windage turrets are .5 MOA adjustments) 3 Clicks Up, 2 Clicks Left 3 Clicks Down, 2.5 Clicks Left 6 Clicks Down, 5 Clicks Left 6 Clicks UP, 5 Clicks right (7)You are at 600 meters and you missed approximately 18 inches below the target. How many mils would you hold over to engage the target with a second shot? (1 Mil equals 3.5 MOA) 1 MIL 2 MILS 3 MILS 6 MILS (8)A target that is 39.5 inches is milled at 1.35 mils. What is the range in meters? 743 meters 658 meters 716 meters 802 meters (9)A window that is four feet tall is milled at 2.10 mils. What is the range in meters? 560 meters 732 meters 580 meters 653 meters (10)If the target is moving with the wind, you would add your wind hold to your lead. True False (11)How many mils are in 1 MOA? (use field value) .3 Mils equals 1 MOA 1 MIL equals 1 MOA 3.5 MILS equals 1 MOA .5 MILS equals 1 MOA (12)A true half value wind comes from which clock directions? (As a shooter, you are always shooting into the 12 o’clock direction) 1, 5, 7, 11 o’clock 12, 3, 6, 9 o'clock 6 and 12 o’clock 3 and 9 o’clock (13)For optimal observation of trace out to 800 meters, what magnification setting should your spotting scope be on? Minimum Magnification 15x to 22x 30x to 40x Maximum Magnification (14)You follow trace on what part of the trajectory? Rising Branch Maximum Ordinate Falling Branch All of the Above (15)You are confirming your ballistic data on a 600-meter target. You observe your shot to be .6 mils below your intended aim point. How many minutes must you come up? 1 MOA 2 MOA 5 MOA 6 MOA (16)You are engaging a target at 600 meters. You give your shooter a wind call of LEFT .8 mils. You observe the round to be off the right edge of the target. Do you need to increase or decrease your wind call? Increase Wind Call Decrease Wind call (17)What is formula to engage targets that are higher or lower than your position Flat ground distance x angle/100 = actual distance Actual distance x angle/100 = flat ground distance Flat ground distance x cosine = actual distance Actual distance x cosine = flat ground distance (18)You are engaging a target at 700 meters. You give your shooter an elevation call of UP 8.8 mils. You observe the round to be over the target. You see it was 1.6 mils high from center mass of your target. What is your new elevation call? 7.2 MILS 10 MILS 7.6 MILS 8.2 MILS (19)At roughly what percentage of the flight path does the highest point in the trajectory occur? 25% 55-60% 75% 100% (20)Which of the following is not a rapid target engagement technique 12 Inch Drill Point Blank Zero Danger Space Tracking and Ambusing Proficiency test
