I always pace off 25 to 30 yards from where I think the action is gonna be, and set my stand. you can pace off your target at home and get an idea. I also pace off when hunting the edge of a field and stick a stick in the ground to give me an idea of my range. cant fork out the money for a range finder soo thats my way... hope this helps

I've done all the other ways. Pace off, mark ribbons, set my scents out at known distances. Nothing beats a single pin and adjust your aim off that pin at 20 +/- . All I can say is that it works. Think KISS principle.

the biggest thing that helped me is to grab a tennis ball and some judo tips toss the ball out in the yard and shooot it, and just mix up how far you toss it. go to a lake or pond and toss ping pong balls and shoot them. you will get good. in the stand disect your yardages like the other guys said.

How do you guys judge elevation difference. Say you are 20 ft up in tree and the deer is 30 yards out. Do you aim directly at the vitals for a 30 yd shot or compensate for elevation?
