+The Bakkers Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I see in some multi's that you are to take a bearing of x amount of mils. Like this below example Checkpoint 1: N43° 10.455 W079° 14.511 From the pole, take a bearing of 4000 mils and record the full house number (CP01) What is a bearing of 4000 mils?

+dfx Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 never heard of this before, but i assume (thanks to the power of google) that they're talking about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mil converter: http://www.unitconversion.org/angle/degree...conversion.html Quote Link to comment
+SgtSue Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 mils is a method of dividing of a circle into more accurate increments than the 360 degrees most of us are used to. Mostly used in the Field Artillery community for accuracy of fire. Quote Link to comment
GermanSailor Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 What is a bearing of 4000 mils? 225° 4000 / 6400 * 360 Mils is based on a 6.400 graduation. GermanSailor Quote Link to comment
