Hello each,
I can remember being told that the longbow men of olden days and British Army gunners and riflemen have used the same techniques of estimating distance for firing over. It was a long time ago so I will no doubt get the ranges wrong, if so don't kick off just correct the info for others.
A 6' man at 500 yds shows no facial details, at 100 yds eyes are apparent and so on back and forth. Likewise colours and designs go to black at distence and only come into vision as the range closes.
