[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 383151, member: 1290"] I'm no engineer but I shoot a lot and in every shooting discipline I have ever studied the distance to the target is defined as from the farthest forward part of your body on the ground. If standing it is your toes. When prone it is your front rest. Off the bench it is the front edge of the bench. I guess if you have a 99 yard long barrel you are still 100 yards from the target if are still behind the 100 yard line. In the field I range it and the distance from my rangefinder to the target is my input that I use for the correction. Your field rangefinder is only accurate to + or - 1 yard anyway. As the CRSO for my range this is SOP. [/QUOTE]
