Greetings,
So, I have read many articles and beginning to understand the differences in MIL vs MOA; they are angular units of measurement not metric or imperial.
This was a great article:

So, it seems to be MIL vs MOA is sort of like two different "languages" that are conveying the same messageMIL vs. MOA — Key Points
There are a handful of minor differences/trade-offs between MIL & MOA, but there are no inherent advantage to either system. Most people blow the small differences WAY out of proportion….Here are the biggest differences and things to keep in mind:
Whatever you decide, go with matching turret/reticle (i.e. MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA)
1/4 MOA adjustments are slightly more precise than 1/10 MIL.
MIL values are slightly easier to communicate.
If you think in yards/inches the math for range estimation is easier with MOA. If you think in meters/cm the math is easier with MIL.
When your shooting partners are using one system, there can be some advantage to having the same system.
Around 90% of the PRS competitors use MIL.
There are more product options (with ranging reticles) in MIL.
I have never used either system. As a woodworker and DIY builder I do think more in inches/feet ie. 4ft X 8ft sheets of plywood, 2X4 studs (actually 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches) etc. Off the top of my head, I don't know what 47cm would look like.
So, Tactical Teacher, for someone starting out and wanting to take your courses, which system would you suggest? MIL or MOA
Is one easier to learn than the other? Is one easier to teach than the other?
Thank you
Tony
