We ranged several items in view at my place this past weekend and wrote them down in my blind.

For bow hunting I have painted rocks and placed them to match the yardage pins.


Funny thing about getting older:
Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to
see through people's BS gets much better.

Have orange flagging tape tied to the trees at 100 and 200yds, I'm not shooting any farther, especially since I moved both pens to 100yds!

I don't do a range card to that detail, but I do write verified ranges to prominent features over the windows of each stand. Every now and then I'll throw in a joke, like "78 yards to cow." I'll get asked, "What's that mean?" Me: "Dammit, she moved again?!?"

edited to add: Cows are terrible land marks...

edited again: There's a HF game ranch just west of my place, so in a stand that faces west I have a marker, "37.5 miles to 140+ buck" with the number of the ranch manager next to it.
