Ok, so here's something that can be cussed and discussed.
Target size, based on 2 MOA (and let's be real and just call it 2 inches at 100y). A 2 inch circle at 100y is 3.14 square inches, based on (radius squared) times Pi, which would be 1x1x3.14=3.14 square inches surface area.
At face value, it should be 1 inch at 50y, and 4 inches at 200y. Yet the math...….a 1 inch circle at 50y is only (.5x.5x3.14) =.785 square inches of surface and only a quarter of the 100y target, . And a 4 inch circle at 200y is (2x2x3.14)=12.56 square inches, roughly 4 times the surface area of the 2 inch target at 100y.
So....open ended question...…..if you wanted to maintain 2 inch @ 100y capability, how big should targets be at 50y, 75y, & 200y? and how much advantage would a square be versus a circle. Example: a 4 inch circle (200y) is 12.56 square inches versus a 4 inch square being 16 square inches. Is that truly an advantage/disadvantage?
All answers debating the real value of MOA vs. inches will be disregarded, beaten with a stick, and posters will be blatantly told to stick it up their ***.
