    Practice practice practice. Play the "how far away is that tree?" game especially when with others. It's a good thinking game and is the beginnings of at least being close. A mate n I do it whilst scoping out a face. Take a jab on identified points then we check with his rangefinder. It's really helped sharpen my estimation of distance.
    Steve123 and turtle like this.

    How many times are you wrong over a range of ranges? More than 10 percent and I'd suggest that your wasting your time and risking wounding animals; just buy a range finder or stalk in closer.
