What does MOA stand for?

I constantly see people using the abbreviation "MOA". What the heck does that mean? I tried to look it up on google and I'm finding things like Museum of Art, Mall of America, and Ministry of Agriculture

Mall of America

Careful saying that Gecko might be watching.


Minute Of Angle = roughly 1" at 100yards

Minute of Angle, one 60th of one degree of arc. More or less 1 inch at 100 yards. Also Munich October Ale, a tasty beer to drink after a good day at the range.

Minute of Angle

What is Minute of Angle?

MOA expands as distance increases so a MOA a 200 yards is 2 in, 3 @ 300, 6 @ 600, 10 inches @ 1000 yards, etc.

To Be Precise...

An MOA is exactly 1.047" at 100 yards.
