Default RE: Judging Shot Distance

I don't use a rangefinder. Not because I don't like them, I do...but usually my son has it with him and that leaves me to the guesswork..[8D]

This is what I do...right or wrong. I pay little attention to what distance it is from me to it.....I find objects on the ground....The first I try to find is a marker that I estimate 20 yards from the tree. I shoot A LOT indoors at 20 yards, and I can estimate 20 yards pert near dead on every time...so that's the reference I use. I find something on the ground 20 yards from the tree, only I begin at the base of the tree, not from me. Once I find that 20 yards, I find another 10 yards from the first, and so on...I always look on the ground, not from me to the object, but from 2 seperate objects on the ground.
