Mil-Calc is a fast, modern distance milling calculator designed for shooters who want analog ranging capabilities without outdated slide rules, cluttered charts, or mental algebra. Using a known target size and a MIL or MOA measurement taken through your optic, Mil-Calc aids you in calculating the distance to your target in yards or meters. All calculations are performed locally on your device with a clean, focused interface built for real-world use. Key Features • Distance milling using MIL or MOA • Supports imperial and metric units • Clean, distraction-free interface • Built-in reference sizes for common targets • Fast, offline calculations — no internet required • No ads, tracking, or analytics How It Works Select or enter a known target size Measure the target through your scope using MIL or MOA Enter both values and tap Calculate Receive an instant distance calculation Accuracy depends on correct inputs — precise measurements produce the best results. Reference Section Mil-Calc includes a reference library of common average and standardized sizes to assist when a target’s exact dimensions are unknown. Examples include: • IPSC targets • Animal vital zone measurements • Standardized objects such as building materials and traffic signs Reference values are approximations but are often close enough to be useful in practical scenarios. Privacy Mil-Calc does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data. No analytics, tracking systems, or third-party services are used. All settings and calculations remain entirely on your device. Important Notes • All results are estimates based on user input • Always confirm distance when safety is a concern • This app does not replace professional training • Users are responsible for complying with all applicable laws Mil-Calc is designed for lawful recreational, educational, and sporting use.
