Jason,I used to do that heel to toe thing for distance too, lol. I found by taking real big strides for me [6' -2"] they come out to almost exactly one yard. I was helping a bud sight in a slug bbl shotgun for deer in Illinois one time, target was in a plowed field, he had one of those deals w/ a big wheel that you roll around on the ground for distance. I paced off 100 yds while he fought the plowed field and I had the stakes in when he finally got there. I was 6 inches off, lol. I used to go to alot of M/L competitions and spent lots of time walking to 25, 50, and 100 yd targets.
