Mil Dot Master - Analog Range Finding tool with Manual.
About the Mildot Master®
The Mildot Master® is an analog calculator designed along the principle of a slide rule, utilizing logarithmic and inverse logarithmic scales developed specifically for performing the following operations:
Rapid and simple calculation of range to target, based on a measurement of the target with a mildot reticle, by aligning the estimated target size directly opposite the mildot measurement, and then reading the range at an index mark.
Rapid and simple calculation of the amount of sight correction necessary to compensate for bullet drop and/or wind drift for a given range, enabling the shooter to determine either the equivalent telescopic sight adjustment (minute-of-angle, or MOA) or the equivalent hold-over (mils), by reading equivalents in both MOA and mils directly opposite the bullet drop/wind drift figure.
Additionally, angle of fire for uphill or downhill shots can be accurately measured, and the up/down compensation can be closely calculated to reduce the errors such shots can induce.
Realize the full potential of your mildot scope for about the price of two boxes of .308 Match ammo.
The Mildot Master® exhibits numerous advantages over the use of a conventional handheld electronic calculator:
No conversion of estimated target size from inches into decimal equivalent of yards is necessary, as the Target Size Scale is in increments of feet and inches.
No entry of data or operations through a keypad is necessary, as the device is purely analog and only requires the alignment of figures on scales.
No memorization of formulae is necessary, as the correct formulae are built into the scales.
No complex calculations for determination of telescopic sight adjustment or hold-over at various ranges are necessary, as the scales of the device convert drop/drift figures directly into both MOA and mils.
No separate data sheet is necessary for bullet drop figures, as the reverse side of the device is designed to accommodate either commercially available data decals or user-produced data strips.
Speed of calculations necessary to determine range to target and required telescopic sight adjustment and/or hold-over can be significantly reduced by using this device in lieu of a conventional hand-held electronic calculator.
The Mildot Master® is comprised of only two parts and utilizes no electrical or electronic parts. It needs no batteries, and its simplicity of construction and operation results in extreme reliability under adverse conditions.
Unlike an electronic calculator, the Mildot Master® can measure the angle of a shot (up to 60 degrees above or below the horizontal), and can be used to correct for the effects of uphill/downhill shooting.
