19th Century Range Finder

[Colonial Boy]

Tinworm,
We just used the height of the foresight blade, knees, waist, shoulders the whole figure, then diminishing for longer guess work. No marks.

 

[Tinworm]

When was this? You don't look old enough.

Perhapse a little late to the party here.... But I am now producing and selling an 1860's British Range Finder.

Use a Chadburn’s Rifle Distance Gauge to help accurately judge the distance of a man (or woman) up to 900 yards away. This newly made copy of the 1860 Chadburn’s Rifle Distance Gauge has been accurately made in Great Britain from 1.5mm brass
