Also, is there any rule of thumb for a quick eyeball measurement. When, I shoot any of my guns, for my interest, I like to see there distance. However, I am often dreadfully inaccurate with my eyeball measurements.

Measure it for exact, then, take note of about where 50' is, 60' is, 70' is, 80' is, etc.

The one disadvantage to this method is rain takes away your ability to use the same marks for more than a few days. The noticable advantage is that you must then re-measure and mark out your distances, this eliminates the getting lazy and geussing factor.

NO. You absolutely do not do that, becasue that is how people get to thinking that their NF gets 80' and they saw a Crossbow shoot 200'.You eyeball by experience.
Two words, I'll even bold them:

Thank you.

What I should have said is that you use the same spot each time you test and you develope a since of range. This is due to landmarks down range that you know their from your start point.
But seriously, I only estimate when I can't find a measuring tape or it does't matter that much.

Wouldn't be easier to just use a tape measure? I get a piece of chalk and mark where the dart is then when I'm done shooting I measure the chalk marks.How about a rope? You could have about a 100' section of rope, then mark it every five or so feet. Is it hard to find that much rope?

I agree with you on the measuring tape thing, but dude some NF's do actually get more than 75 feet, even though yours might not. I hate it when people say that somebody's ranges are inacurrate, false, etc., because usually they are just saying that because their gun gets less range than the posted ranges.

By the way, I do realize that sometimes you get lucky and hit someone at the ankle or foot, but I don't count on those shots.

I wouldn't consider those "lucky" only because most of the time the person will start running or keep running and then deny he/she was shot there. Unless of course it was from close range, and it left a huge welt. Then it's funny because you say "Oh, really? Then what the hell is that welt doing there?"By the way, I do realize that sometimes you get lucky and hit someone at the ankle or foot, but I don't count on those shots.
Anyways, yeah you're right on the effective range thing.
