    Or, for a quick and dirty calculation, just remember one-two-three-four -

    For a one-minute change,
    Measure the distance between the two sights,
    Multiply that by three.
    Move the decimal point four places to the left.

    Example: 24" x 3 = 72", move decimal = .0072".

    Close enough - and no calculator needed if you can multiply by 3. (This is actually a little trigonometry, since the tangent of one minute of angle is about .000291.)
