    How do you judge range?

    How do you judge range?

    I have found in the past that I have significantly under/over estimated range, especially over uneven terrain. Gullies seem to mess with my ability to accurately assess distance.

    The obvious answer of course, is a rangefinder. Another one might be something specific, like a fully grown stag filling up a certain number of mildots at x no. of metres on your scope.

    Not everybody has a rangefinder. Not every specific solution works for other situations.

    Anybody found a quick and effective method?
