Ok so I was wrong , MOA is 1.047197546 The formula is as follows .

360 degrees in a circle and each degree contains 60 minutes and so each  circle contains 21600 minutes of angle .

as a result 1 minute of angle is 1/21600 of a given circle .

The circumfrence of a circle in inches = 2x radius of a circle in inches x pi or.

2x(100x36)x 3.1415926=22619.4467.

since one MOA = 1/21600 of a circle 22619.467 inches in circumfrence one MOA would be (1/21600)x 22619.467 =1.047197546


Or if you use a trig caculator it is tan .016666 x 3600


So if you work the formula you will find  1 MOA at 200 yards is 2.0943950942

 


I am sorry but somebody just had to ask.
