Buffalobob - Just as a quick note, the height of most humans are determined by the long bones of the legs. The groin to top of head is almost always within inches of 1 meter. I used to have a marked wall where I had the tallest guy in the class and the shortest guy stand against the wall and we marked their trunk height. Yep they were each within one inch of 1 meter and within two inches of each other even though one was 6 foot 4 and the other was a tiny 5 foot 6. Those dam mils work like a champ.
I agree whole heartedly on the fact that the normal stadias for 18 inch targets or the full height of a man do not work worth a crap. 18 inches, which will cover shoulder to shoulder and nipple line to top of head, is to small for any accuracy past about 550 to 600. Too easy for an error to creep in that puts you out side the ballistic trajectory of the round.
Mil dots are great as they will also allow holding for wind, range, and movers.
