Hi all.  Need some help with higher math!

My scope adjustments call for the following:

4 clicks = 1 minute of angle at 100 yards.

I'm shooting at 25 yards.  Need to move my POI UP 1/2 inch and LEFT 1/2 inch.  

At 25 yards, how many clicks should I adjust my sight?

Wife and I both college gradiates and tried to figure this one out......ugh!  But we're still married!  

Anyone out there have the answer?

Thanks

1/2 inch @ 25 = 2 inches @ 100

therefore move the scope 8 clicks in each direction.

1 MOA is pretty much equal to 1 inch @ 100 yds.

The easy way to remember is that for your scope:  1 click will move the POI 1/4" @ 100 yds (not absolute exactly but go with it).  So to move it 1/2" at 100yds, it would take 2 clicks.



@ 50 yards - you are 1/2 the distance, so it take double the clicks to move the POI the same amount.  Ergo, at 50 yds - to move the POI 1/2" - it would take double the amount of 100yds or 4 clicks.



@25 yds - you are 1/4 the distance - so it would take 4 times the number of clicks to move it the same amount.  So, at 25 yds, to move the POI 1/2" - you would need 4x the amount you would at 100 yds or 8 clicks.  



The reverse of that is true also.  If you move out to 200 yds - you would need HALF the clicks you would at 100 yds.  or to move the POI 1/2" @ 200 yds - you would need 1 click.  And so on.....
