In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on a long-standing myth in the American hunting community: that 1 MOA equals 1 inch at 100 yards. Spoiler alert—it doesn't. Jamie Dodson walks you through the real math behind minutes and mils, compares their pros and cons, and explains why the "language of hunters" might be more marketing than fact. We're diving deep into how rounding MOA values distorts your accuracy, why mils are faster, cleaner, and more honest, and why most of the world—and long-range shooters—prefer them. If you've ever been told that minutes are "simple" or "easier," this episode might change the way you shoot forever. Plus, we preview next week's episode where we expose the truth behind BDC turrets—it's not bullet drop compensation, it's being duped for cash. Brought to you by: Krieger Barrels: Cut-rifled, American-made precision barrels. MDT: Makers of elite competition and hunting rifle chassis. TriggerTech: Precision triggers we trust—and actually use. Heads up: 2026 Long-Range Shooting School dates go live August 1st—with early bird discounts and limited slots!
