HI Joe

Well that has to be a rough one some caan do it and some can't.

Take any given field look at it , guessing yds feet, rods, meters. Start walking to that spot. Were you close? , if not do it again. Now for the rough one, side veiw do this again. If you get close after a few tries than you are going to be in a ballpark guess.

If you have trouble guessing distance, chances are your not going to be able to do this. But time will tell, try it often and learn. A few pointers. How big is the grass at 100 yds. That trees branches, at the ends where the leaves are what do they look like at 100 yds. bird flying is what got me started hunting , like the goose hunter say look for they feet. Look for something that would tell you the distance, now what works for you saying you have 20/20 vesion, would not work for me I have 20/15 if I have the numbers right. I see in 20 ft. what the normal 20/20 persons see at 15ft.

Have Fun do it with a friend make a game of it after a few times your'e going to do ok. I figure if doing it for custom work i always add 10-20 % . Beter to do it for lower than they where looking to pay than end up charging more or losing money.
