In this video I try and explain what MOA is or Minutes of Angle in the easiest terms possible.
Think of MOA as Inches in Yards if it helps you remember.

i came here exactly for an MOA explanation in regards to a red dot and got exactly what i needed. i just went through 3 articles and this was the simplest yet most clear explanation of what an MOA is in a 1/10 of the time. great vid!

@MonstaFreak13 5 лет назад

Same here... im in the market for a red dot and i needed to know

@ThepDenNgoaiBien 2 года назад

now what??? more confusing ?? 1 MOA = 1 Minute of Angle by definition?? right?? now you say 1MOA = 1/10 of what?? Sorry too confuse??

@timl8302 Год назад

@@ThepDenNgoaiBien 1/10th is Mils. 1 mil radian = 1centimeter at 100 meters. MOA is in units of 4. Four clicks = 1 MOA. One MOA is 1.0472 inches at 100yards.

@blindey Год назад

@@ThepDenNgoaiBien They meant this took a lot less time and was more clear than the multiple articles they read.

9 years later...still a great video! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

@JEB66 Год назад

I'll probably forget it again since this is my 5th time in 2 years looking this up but for right now, you explained it perfectly and I know for now... Until the next time when I once again am here to acquire forgotten knowledge.

@donaldduck4867 2 года назад

Finally! I understand MOA!😎 Thanks Brother! Stay safe!🇺🇸

@sunshynff 11 месяцев назад

VERY HELPFUL!! I realize that there is much more that goes into MOA, and calculating long range shooting and whatnot. But for those of us that who recreationally shoot, and needed just the basics, and the ability to wrap our weary brains around the premise, this video is perfect to accomplish that goal, in 5min to boot!! Bravo sir, thank you!!

@clarkgriswald9909 6 лет назад

Best and most simple explanation I've ever heard - very well done!

@christopherwebb650 7 лет назад

You explanation was very understandable. New shooter here. Thank you!

@doneremmiur9213 6 лет назад

Excellent explanation...Bought a scope with 1/4 MOA at 100.yds..now I know that If I hit 1" away from the Center/target...I have to click 4 times....wow..wow..Thank you sir

@georgewhiteley3653 4 года назад

Thanks for explaining that in layman's terms. I felt foolish asking anyone since I felt like I should've known what that meant. I'm sure from your video this is the simple and easiest way to describing moa. It way well understood the first time you went threw what it means, thanks.

@ORUZHIYEOHOTAORUJIEKANADA 8 лет назад

That's a nice quality of the author's mind, that he could brake down a complicated theory, to the extremely simple explanation! Good job, well done!

@kennethbraun1568 4 года назад

Clear, excellent explanation, especially as it relates to scopes.

@jeremy74pow 6 лет назад

You said it right at the beginning. MOA is a term that gets thrown around. I been shooting 35 years and only really heard MOA thrown around heavy in the past year. Thanks for clearing it up for me, but to me it still doesn't matter. My rifle is either sighted or it ain't so I really don't worry about faddish technical terms.

@charlesludwig9173 5 лет назад

OK, let's say your rifle is sighted in for 300 yards. The wind is blowing at about 10 mph from left to right. You have been told that much wind will displace the bullet about 9 inches at 300 yards. So, how many clicks of windage do you take on your scope, assuming the clicks have a 1/4 MOA value? If you do not understand how many clicks to take your only option is to hold off 9 inches. At any rate, the bottom-line is sights and scopes move in MOA and describe inches of movement at target distance. If you are zeroing for 100 yards and your first group is 4 inches high and 4 inches to the left, how many clicks, again 1/4 MOA value, do you need for elevation and windage. If you don't know you will shoot a lot of ammo guessing at how many clicks to take; but, understanding MOA you would know you need 16 clicks of elevation and 16 clicks of windage.

@tokko6884 14 дней назад

Faddesh technical terms? Tell me you can’t shoot long range without telling me. MOA isn’t a fad. It’s been a reticle style and movement for scopes for decades.

even tho i had to watch it twice, i understood it the second time completely. it's completely clear to me now. thanks bro.

@chief5981 3 года назад

So… was he saying a 4 moa dot will physically cover a 4 inch portion of your target at 100m or that your round could strike within a 4 inch circumference at 100m?

@DDDYLN 5 месяцев назад

This was a very good explanation. I'm looking for 2 MOA red dots for my two AR-15's. After eye correction surgery in September, I can no longer see the iron sights with my right eye, and I'm a right handed shooter! That sucked. If anyone has a 2 MOA red dot suggestion, brand and model, please let me know. My uses are primarily home defense, and hitting something at 100 yards outside.

@americankid7782 5 месяцев назад

This is exactly what I was looking for. My cheap red dot I got said it has a 5 MOA dot so I’m just wondering what it is. So what I am gathering is that if my AR shoots 2.5-3 MOA and my dot is 5 MOA and sighted for 100 yards, those shots are going to be inside of the dot itself. That’s actually really helpful.

@yeahman951 2 года назад

@truebuldog 9 лет назад

Great job. Anyone putting your video down should just shut up and make there own. Lol You explained it in the most simplest way so newbees could understand it. Now that we do all the extra numbers can come into play now. Making a geometry math problem out of it makes it only that much harder to understand. Now that we grasp the principals of it, learning the rest is that much simpler. Again good job.
