Ok, I was shooting at 47yds at a candied corn off bucket and sticks and missed. I hurried up and set up a table and rest and put my Airmax 30 SF on 10x. I see the candy and my miss and seen that it was off .3 mil. So my question is, how do I know how much movement is a click at that yardage? I know that supposedly at 100yds it equals .25", 50yds = .125" etc so how does one find out when its at 47yds or something other than 100, 75, 50, 25 etc.
Thank you in advance

Just another proportion. 50/100 x .250 = .125 so 47/50 x .125 = .117 or not enough to know the difference in most instances.

How do/did you come up with that?

Jay. 1click @ 1yd = .0025 in. on a 1/4" MOA @100yds. .0025 x 47 = .117.5 . .3mil = .0119"

Wouldn't it just be a simple doubling/halving?
1/4 @ 1oo == 1/8 @ 5o == 1/16 @ 25
If you shoot at 12 yards, it'd be like 32 clicks per inch, right?
-
Consider the clicks an approximation. 47 yards is approximately 50 yards. That's two clicks for your quarter inch. Unless you've got a REALLY good scope the clicks aren't exact. If you want to move less that a quarter inch half clicks aren't an option, either. After you move the knob it will probably take a couple shots to settle in at the new location anyhow.

I'll usually back-click as well. If I want 16 clicks of down, I'll do 8 clicks up, then 24 clicks down.
-
The .3 mil then noting 1/4" per click is confusing me. What am I missing here?
-
hey everyone, I want to thank you for your input and responses...it was greatly appreciated

4 clicks will correct for a .3 milliradian error.
Notes:
1) that assumes 1/4" @100yd, or 1/4 moa clicks
2) moa and miliradian are both anglular units. Distance is irrelevant when converting angles.

scott i seen the others math, what or how did you come up with your answer?

I'm guessing the shooter has a good scope. To measure 0.3 mildot is pretty specific.
You can use a calc, but guesstimating is fine as well.
1 mildot @ 100 yards is about 3.5".
That means 1 mildot at 50 yards is 1.8".
0.3 * 1.8 == 0.54
So I figure 1/2" @ 50 yards.
To correct for 1/2" @ 50 yards would be 4 clicks.
Metric works well also. I think it's like 10cm @ 100m. A click is about 6mm at 100m, 3mm @ 50m, 1.5mm @ 12 meters.
