Distance?

Best pic ever.

six feet. under.

He won't care in a minute.

Not far enuff (for his sake, anyways).

Posted: 9/8/2004 7:53:28 PM EDT

I don't know, but he's about to be blown someplace far, far away!

I'll take a stab.

Dood is probably six foot tall.

Looks like because he's sitting down he's four foot tall or 1.3 yards tall.

The scope's dots are reading 2.25 foot to head.

Doing the science:

1.3 x 1000 = 1300
--------------------- = 577 yards
2.25

Shoulder to waist~ 18"-22"

If he were standing a perfect 1 mil.

1.0 mils @ 10x

~ 600 yds.

Don't know the power of the scope though.

Damn, I thought I was the only one that made my scroller roller thingy in the middle of the mouse click with my trigger finger when I saw that pic.

Its too good of a picture, probably photoshop.

Don't shoot him till he has shined all those boots!!

If you killed him you would have successfully eliminated the man incharge of disinfecting shoes.

talk about a badass pic! rack up another raghead.

Posted: 9/8/2004 8:10:43 PM EDT

Gotta be photoshopped unless the guy is really big, or right next door. About 3 mils standing!

Posted: 9/8/2004 8:11:59 PM EDT

Photoshopped mildots.

Bigbore-- is there a trick to taking photos through a scope?

You just need one of these!

It has to be a photoshop. Aside from the picture looking so good...

He's about 100 yards out

Posted: 9/8/2004 9:02:02 PM EDT

[#26]

665 yards at 10X Easy shot.

It would be a simulation of a Army scope due to the mils being round. The Marines use a oval dot.

You're Right!
Thanks! I just got me another "Own3d" pic!

[#28]

100yds?! Nah! I agree w/ bigbore... 650yds, maybe 670.

Gotta figure asscheeks-to-shoulders = ~ 24" @ 1 mil, and assume dots are calibrated to scope power. Crank it into my Mildot Master => 670yds.

If you dial your dope for 100yds, you'll wake him up, but that's about it!

Not far enough

A nice slow breath, hmmmmmmmmmm feel the tension on the sling as pulse bounce settles to nothing, gentle squeeze, crisp break at 4.1 pounds, recoil, settle in scope and watch the asshole fall over. Good bye militia shithead. Have spotter scope for his buddies and see if we can get a few more before lunch.

I keep coming up with around 700yds or so, maybe 750 tops if we call him 6 foot or so. We all seem to be a little different, maybe he has some friends who can stand there and we can see whose right.

Uh what? The dots on my Premier Reticle Gen2 are perfectly round. I think the USMC-spec dots are ellipses, but that doesn't mean that is the right way to do it.......

Posted: 9/9/2004 2:44:43 AM EDT

[#32]

Most mildot scopes are elliptical but there are round ones also. I believe I heard that the USMC uses round dots.

Be a rare Arab (a "rarab"?) that is 6' tall. Most hit about 5'6".

A 8"-10" thick chest is pretty common, and his takes up about .6m.

(.27777x1,000)/.6 = 463 yards, or 423 metres.

butt to shoulder is 24" on them shorter fellas

(.666667X1,000)/1 = 667 yards, or 610 metres

average is 565 yards, I'd dial in 550 out of my log book and call for ARTY. He's obviously got friends.

Army round, USMC oval "footballs".

Exactly. Let the big guns do something about the owners of all those boots.

Posted: 9/9/2004 10:50:23 AM EDT

[#35]

I'm guessing between 600 and 650. Call it 625. Wait 'till he stands, or turns, then squeeze......

I've seen that view before, somewhere, except I was looking above the #12.

You could always use the Adirondack SmartScope that SWFA sells. Of course you have to pull the trigger to get the picture.

620 yards -- Chair seat is about 20" above the ground.

Okay how the hell can you tell the distance just by taking measurments of the guys body?
