Hi, Hope everyone is doing good tonight. Umm I got a question about the movement of the crosshairs in a scope. Yall probley think Im dumb when you hear it but me and my dad have been dissagreing about weather a Scope that moves 1/4 at 100yrds moves an 1/8 or 1/2 at 50yrds I say an 1/8 but he says 1/2. I think I'm right but I could be wrong?
Thanks
Matt

1/8 is correct! You figure it's moving less the closer the target is. If it was a 1/2 at fifty it would be way off at 100yards, like an inch! Don't ragg on him to hard!

Yeah be gentle on the Ole Man...as your correct.

Half the distance, half the linear movement, you are correct. It will move a half inch at 200 yards I think.
