I could be wrong, but isn't a "click" the term for 1 kilometer (1000 meters)? When I was in the Army in Germany we called a kilometer a "K", 5 k's = 5 kilometers.

"Klick" answer has been nailed by others.
I do have 2 questions: 1. What does "klick" have to do w/ [b]Hall of Heros[/b]? 2. Last draft was in 1973, I recall this 'cus I was drawn (my birthdate) 18th. Vietnam ended in 1975, if I'm not mistaken. [b]Was registering for the draft still mandatory in 1975?[/b] Mike |

1974 was the last year that you had to regester for the draft.
Thats the year I graduated. They did reinstate the draft a few years later but not sure what year. My brother is 3 years younger than me but not sure if he had to regester or not. |

As Osprey said, all males reaching the age of 18 must register for selective service whether there is a draft going on or not. Been the law for as long as I know.

Yes a click is 1 km(according to Canadian slang).
If it was some sort of sniper movie that referenced it, a click could be 1/4 MOA. Which is about 1.05 inches at 100 yards I believe. |

Quoted: Yes a click is 1 km(according to Canadian slang). If it was some sort of sniper movie that referenced it, a click could be 1/4 MOA. Which is about 1.05 inches at 100 yards I believe. If refering to a scope adjustment, it is 1/2 to 1/4 of an MOA depending upon the sight system in question. An MOA is 1/60th of a degree, it can be further subdivided into seconds of angle (60 to a minute). In practical use a minute is just a little over 1 inch at 100 yards, 2 inches at 200 yards, 3 inches at 300 and so on. 1 click on most sniper grade optics would be equal to .25 MOA or about 1/4 inch at 100 yards, a half inch at 200, 3/4 at 300 and so on. But probably you were refering to a linear distance in travel in which case your answer is in the posts above. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the U.S. the only country in the world that does not use the metric system?
Personally I like the metric system better except for one thing and that's the temp. Celcius is great...if you're a lake or a pond, but if you're a human, 0 is cold and 100 is hot! |
