Default How many clicks at 25 yards?

It's been a while since I have had to sight a gun in, but I do recall 1 click at a hundred yards equals a quarter inch, so 4 clicks is 1 inch at a hundred yards. But I just cant remember how many clicks at 25 yards to move POI 1 inch?

Thanks guys

When 4 clicks = 1 inch @ 100 yards it is 16 clicks (give or take, some scopes are not as accurate) = 1 inch @ 25 yards....like sheephunter said I just did the math

I figure I had to help due to a recent thread where my math skills were questioned by someone who was a whiz at fractions, mass and correct placement of decimals

Default depends

The dial wil say what 1 click does at a 100 yards so we can't always assume 1/4 inch.
Some scopes only have 1/2 inch adjust per click and I own several where 1 click equals 1/10 of an inch at 100 yards.

This is true but regardless the desired change will be 4X the amount @ 25 yards then what it is @ 100 yards.

So: With 1/2 moa clicks...2 clicks @ 100 yards for 1 inch change and 8 clicks @ 25 yards for 1 inch of change.

Default yup

Good point Lefty it is still 4 times at 25 what it is at 100 whatever the adjustment is.
