moa

moa
   an acronym for "minute of angle," that is, for the arcminute (see minute2). This unit is commonly used in target shooting to express the angular size of targets or the spacing between marks on a reticle (the grid of lines seen in the eyepiece of a rifle). By coincidence, 1 moa is very nearly equal to a target size of 1 inch at 100 yards; in fact, 1 moa = 1.047 20 inches at 100 yards or 10.4720 inches at 1000 yards. In metric units, 1 moa = 2.9089 centimeters at 100 meters.
