Each click of elevation and windage is 1 centimeter. For ease, round up to one square. However, each square of the 25-meter zero target is .9 centimeter in actual measurement, which affects large adjustments. Elevation is the clicks verticle. And windage are your clicks horizontal.

Good job Nez46 each click represents 1/4 " increments.
Now Poolees Answer these questions:
(1) Explain the "flag" system when determining wind speed.
(2) Explain on how to determine range by Height.
Good Luck Poolees

Question
The Flag Method of determining wind velocity is the primary method used on the KD range. The flag method is based on the observation of a flag or some other cloth object that is blowing in the wind. It requires the Marine to estimate the angle (in degrees) that the flag is blowing away from its vertical pole. Dividing this angle by 4 will give the wind velocity in mph.
>Mil-Dot is a range estimating reticle that was developed for military applications. The space between the dot centers subtends one milliradian (Mil). One Mil subtends 3.6" at 100 yards, or 36" at 1,000 yards.
This reticle was developed in the late 1970s to help U.S. Marine snipers estimate distances, and is now standard for all military branches. The space between dot centers subtends one milliradian (mil) hence the name mil-dot. Contrary to popular belief it does not stand for "military dot". One mil subtends 3.6 inches at 100 yards or 36 inches at 1,000 yards. To use this system effectively you must know the size of the target. For instance most people are an average of 6 feet tall or 2 yards. The formula used for determining range to the target is (size of target x 1000 divided by number of mils the target covers).

questions
How did you know i got a challenge coin? 1. Well i turned number one inside and out and i do not have any riflemans guide books or tms. 2.The Beaten Zone is a concept in indirect infantry small arms fire, specifically machine guns. It describes the area between the "first catch" and the "last graze" of a bullet's trajectory. At the first of these points a bullet will hit a standing man in the head, at the last of these points, as the bullet drops, it will hit a standing man in the feet. Anyone standing within the beaten zone will be hit somewhere from head to foot.The concept works best as part of a static defence with the area covered by a position plotted out before hand. Usually the machine guns will be mounted on a tripod and indirect fire sights (such as a dial sight) fitted in addition to, or instead of, direct fire ones. Fire can then be called in by spotters to engage specific points in the guns field of fire, even if out of sight of the machine gunners.

Nez46 Good job on #2, #1 Gauging fire is the concept of fireing around to gauge Range to Target and following through with "Kentucky windage"
Next questions are 1 on Range and 1 That is a curve ball.
(1) Describe Kentucky Windage.
(2) Who is LtCol CC Coffman, What War and What makes him so speciel in the Marine Corps.
