The Garand's sight markings are in yards.

Here's some links containing the GI manuals, and some other good info on the M1 rifle.

After you read up, and get your rifle sighted in, use the manual info to properly set the sights so the markings correspond to the range.

Once set, if you want to shoot at 200 yards, you will just crank the sight drum to the 200 mark, and you'll be on target.

First, the CMP has some good info on their site.
