What is the definition of the military term "click" used as a location finder for among others sharpshooters.

Question

The target is three clicks to the left. How is a click measured

Answer 1

a "klick" means a distance of 1000 meters (one kilometer, or .62 miles). So, if a Soldier radios, "We're 10 klicks south of your position," that means they are 10 kilometers away, or 6.2 miles away.

In "military-speak," the term "click" (spelled with a "c" instead of a "k") is used when sighting-in a weapon, such as a rifle. On most weapons, one "click" equals one second of arc, or -- in other words, one inch of distance at one hundred yards. So, moving the site adjustments of the rifle "one click" will change the point of impact one inch for a target 1,000 yards away, two inches for a target 2,000 yards away, and so forth. The term comes from the clicking-sound made by the sight adjustment knobs as they are turned.
