Enter your distance to target, windage, and elevation adjustments into the calculator to determine your hit probability.
Blind Shooting Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the hit probability in blind shooting scenarios.
Hit Probability = 100 - (Windage + Elevation) / Distance * 100
Variables:
- Hit Probability is the likelihood of hitting the target (%)
- Windage is the adjustment needed to account for wind (MOA)
- Elevation is the adjustment needed to account for bullet drop (MOA)
- Distance is the distance to the target (yards)
To calculate the hit probability, sum the windage and elevation adjustments, divide by the distance, and subtract from 100.
What is Blind Shooting Calculation?
Blind shooting calculation refers to the process of estimating the likelihood of hitting a target without visual confirmation. This involves understanding the adjustments needed for windage and elevation based on the distance to the target. Accurate blind shooting calculations are essential for improving shooting accuracy and effectiveness.
How to Calculate Hit Probability?
The following steps outline how to calculate the hit probability using the given formula.
- First, determine the distance to the target.
- Next, assess the windage and elevation adjustments needed.
- Use the formula from above: Hit Probability = 100 – (Windage + Elevation) / Distance * 100.
- Finally, calculate the hit probability by plugging in the values.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Distance to Target = 100 yards
Windage Adjustment = 5 MOA
Elevation Adjustment = 3 MOA
FAQ
1. What is hit probability?
Hit probability is the likelihood of successfully hitting a target based on various adjustments and conditions.
2. How is hit probability different from accuracy?
Hit probability refers to the likelihood of hitting a target under specific conditions, while accuracy measures how close the shots are to the intended target.
3. How often should I use the blind calculator?
It’s helpful to use the blind calculator whenever there are changes in distance, wind conditions, or if you want to improve your shooting strategy.
4. Can this calculator be used for different shooting scenarios?
Yes, you can adjust the inputs to match various shooting scenarios and conditions to calculate the hit probability accordingly.
5. Is the calculator accurate?
The calculator provides an estimate of your hit probability based on the inputs provided. For exact figures, it’s best to consult shooting data or experienced shooters.
