RE: bowhunting. how to know how many yards away a deer is?
Part of the fun of bowhunting is ranging the animal yourself...IMO. Maybe it was years and years of football and having to know distance in yards, but I can range to usually within 2-3 yards all the way up to around 35 yards out. I just pick up my bow, pick a spot that I believe is within a 5 yard mark, estimate the range, and then shoot when the time is right.
