1 MOA @ 100yds = 1.047 inches.

Then you've got the issue where some scope turrets are marked in, eg 1 click = 1/4 MOA, whilst others are marked 1 click = 1/4 inch. And obviously there are also 1/8 click scopes.

I'm in the MOA camp due to a background in NRA Fullbore, F Class and FTR shooting.
I have no trouble understanding MRAD it's just isn't appropriate when shooting at electronic target systems (Silver Mountain and Target Master) in use in NZ which are all set up in MOA grids.
