Can someone explain how to use the attached Mil Dot sighing target? I have been trying to figure it out, but it is still beyond my comprehension.
I found it in one of the many "Free Target Download" sites, maybe even here on GTA.
Thanks, in advance.

I love a mystery -- and this remains unsolved by me.
If the center dot is 2mm = 1 mil, this target is intended for use at 2 meters.
If the 1 to 40 scale to the left is in mils, it measures almost 50mm, 1 mil = 1.2mm, target for use at 1.2 meters.
Designed for bored office workers wanting shooting practice in their cubicles?
Scoring rings are bass-ackawards. Did you find this on April First?

I don't remember which website I downloaded it from. But it makes my head hurt trying to figure out how it is supposed to me used.
I'm adding a image of the target to this post, instead of the .pdf.

I just notice the numbers 1 - 40 are pretty evenly spaced, but the squares are not evenly spaced between the numbers at the top. Why 1 and not 0? I think whoever made this...lacked some basic skills.

I think I'm on to something, but not sure how useful. If it is really 1-40 MOA, scaled correctly at about 4.5 meters, the circles indicate the group size in MOA (if centered exactly...)
