I adjusted to a rough zero at home by looking through the bore at the target and then without moving the gun looking through the sight. Now I will finally be going to the range and need to properly zero it.
Being that this gun is for home defense, and the furthest distance I could be firing inside my house is just under 17 yards, with expected actual distance less than that, I want to zero it at 11 yards, selected because due to COVID considerations I have to go to an outdoor range that only has set defined target distances of which the first two are 11 yards and 25 yards.
The instructions say "Each left or right click is for one adjustment equivalent to 0.5MOA value."
The instructions on the sight-in target say "Scope graduations are usually 1/2 inch or 1 inch at 100 yards. For 25 yard range adjustment must be 4 times amount shown on grid. In a scope having 1-inch graduations you would have to move 8 graduations right and 24 graduations up to bring the sample three shot group [which is located at "2R" and "6U" on the grid] to the center of the target.
So first of all, in general I would like to know how "MOA" translates to inches?
Secondly, how many clicks do I need per grid square to zero at 11 yards? The grid squares are 1" by 1".
Thanks in advance.
