CALCULATING HOLDS FOR WIND AND MOVING TARGETS Your horizontal mil dots provide a precise way of holding for crosswinds and target movement. Just look in your cartridge's wind drift and moving target tables to determine the exact holds for different distances. The accompanying table lists one-mil widths from 100 to 600 yards, so you can calculate how many mils to hold right or left when firing in a crosswind, or engaging a moving target.

It's easy to measure in half-mils or even quarter-mils but with practice you can measure tenths of a mil. 10

One mil is the distance between centers of dots. It’s easy to measure in half-mils
or even quarter-mils but with practice you can measure tenths of a mil.
CALCULATING HOLDS FOR WIND AND MOVING TARGETS
Your horizontal mil dots provide a precise way of holding for crosswinds and target movement. Just look in
your cartridge’s wind drift and moving target tables to determine the exact holds for different distances. The
accompanying table lists one-mil widths from 100 to 600 yards, so you can calculate how many mils to hold
right or left when firing in a crosswind, or engaging a moving target.
