MOA means "Minute of Angle" (angle in minutes) and is a unit of angle used in ballistics and shooting. One MOA is equal to 1/60 of a degree. This unit is frequently used to measure angles in shooting and ballistic contexts due to its practicality and precision.

In the context of scopes, MOA is often used to describe the scope's inclination or adjustment for shooting. For example, a scope with a 1 MOA inclination means that at 100 yards (approximately 91 meters), the point in the scope's field of view will be shifted by 1 inch relative to the horizontal axis.

Additionally, MOA can be used to measure shooting accuracy. If shots form a group where one MOA corresponds to a certain angle, it can be interpreted as the accuracy of shooting at a specific distance.
