F-class target click chart

[sbrabec]

Hi all
I'm looking for a target chart that tells you how many clicks 1/4 & 1/8 from bullet impact to center X at 300, 500 and 600 yards. I thought I've seen something out here somewhere, but of course when I need it I can't find it.
Thanks
Scott

What I'm looking for would be exact... if I explained it right. If I shoot at 300 yards and hit a 9 o'clock "10" on the line between 9 and 10, I would dial over 1 MOA, 4 clicks for 1/4, 8 clicks for 1/8 ect on a f-class target... I trying to get my 9 yr old to understand how this works and thought I had seen a chart that has cross section for vertical and horizontal. I'm not that good with excel (if that would work?) and don't have a CAD program.
Hope this explains what I'm after a little better....

Maybe these will help. Down near the bottom of the first page.

I think this is what you are looking for.

Thanks all........ I think the plot sheets will help. I still thought I had seen some that were in clicks instead of MOA? Thanks for the links.

My advice: teach him to think in MOA, and forget about counting clicks other than as a sub-division of MOA. Keep the math simple i.e. come left 1-1/2 moa rather than trying to decide if it is 12 or 13 clicks. Bigger numbers = more screw-ups. Might not be that easy teaching a (relatively) abstract system like MOA to a 9yr old, but it'll be way simpler than having him trying to keep track of clicks in his head. The turrets most likely have MOA numbers on them, use them to your advantage.

Exactly right. The first thing I teach a person trying to learn long distance shooting is to forget clicks and think in MOA. Your scope has a dial with numbers on it. Use them. There are a lot of excel spread sheets that solve ballistic problems and make life very simple.

Absolutely....forget the clicks think in terms of MOA. Thaqt way you can simply tell him come left 3/4 MOA and up 1/2 MOA and he will know what it means. The plot sheets referenced above are in MOA.

I agree with the other guys, think MOA.
MOA stands for Minute Of Angle. A full circle is divided into 360 degrees and each degree is divided into 60 minutes. Thus, there are 21,600 minutes in a full circle (360 x 60 = 21,600). A minute is a small angle, but it's exactly what's needed for gun sights. A rule of thumb is that changing a sight's elevation setting by 1 minute of angle changes the bullet's impact point by 1 inch at 100 yards. A more exact value and how it's arrived at is shown below:

A circle with a 100 yard radius (distance from the center to the edge) would have a circumference of approximately 628.32 yards or 22,619 inches (100 x 2 x pi = 628.32 {pi is about 3.1416}). Dividing the circumference in inches by the number of minutes in a full circle gives a value of about 1.047 inches (22619 / 21600 = 1.047). Thus, changing a sight's elevation setting by 1 minute of angle changes the bullet's impact point by 1.047 inches at 100 yards. And the bullet's impact point would change by 2.094 inches at 200 yards (1.047 x 2) and change by 3.141 inches at 300 yards (1.047 x 3).
In some scopes, depending on the maker, 1 MOA = 1 inch, others 1 MOA = 1.047 inch.

Thanks for all the great info. I agree with all who say to teach him MOA... I think I'm still learning too, but all this info is putting it together for me, so hopefully I can pass it him. Thanks again...

Well I can't offer any advice other than what other's have said. I can say that for years I thought in clicks! There is just too many clicks to keep up with. Once I understood what MOA was exactly! I felt like a idot! Why didn't I just learn this sooner! ;D Learning to Think in MOA and breaking my old habit of counting clicks made things so simple I am able to make adjustments much faster with less thinking. By thinking in MOA! With being in somewhat the same process as you and working on trying to teach my 8 yr old daughter to shoot. I have learn that the easier and the more fun you make it for them, the faster kids learn, but I'm sure your aware of that.

Good Luck to you and your Son!
