Gents,
I'm seeking a simple answer to a situation with scopes.
Most of us buy scopes for hunting and not for driving tacks at 1,000 yards so we keep things as simple as possible without arguing about the theory of evolution or the theory of everything or quantum mechanics or the general theory of relativity; therefore, I put these questions to you. Please remember, I am a math phobic.
When we buy our scopes, we mount them to our rifles, leave our abacus and slide rule at home then head for the range for zeroing. Scope instructions tell us that one click with the elevation or windage will move the strike of the bullet 1/4" at 100yards. My first question is, what effect will one click have at 50, 150 and 200 yards? My second question is, have I been reading my scope instructions correctly, all these years in saying one click equates to 1/4" for windage and elevation?
