![]() ![]() On either a good or bad day there can be a few targets that trip me up and I'll misjudge them by 6-8 yards. My strongest is the first method, for whatever reason. Most will find that they are consistently more accurate with one of the 3 methods, so if there is a sizable discrepancy in numbers, then go with the number from the method that you know is your strong point. Hopefully all three give numbers that are really close to each other. Third, I judge the halfway distance between the target and I, and then double it. Then, I find 20 yards on the ground and then go out in 10 yard increments until I get to the target. First, I just look straight at the side of the target and get a number, lots of consistent practice shooting known distances at the range really helps imprint distance into your brain. When shooting unknown I judge every target with 3 different methods (not possible on every single target, such as across a ravine). I have a couple friends that can put me to shame, they are very consistently within 1-2 yards over and over and over again. On an off day I will be off by 4-5 yards here and there. ![]() I consider a good day to be when I can judge most everything without being off by more than 3 yards or less. I pick out something, judge it, and then zap it to see how close I was. I practice all the time, it has become standard for me to almost always carry rangefinders when I'm camping, hiking, or even going for a walk around the neighborhood.
