Do I need to go buy a range finder?

Thanks.
Try to think of something that you know is about 150' long and do a comparison in your head. I picture a football field. 150' = 50 yards, which is 1/2 a football field. Maybe it could be the distance from your front door to a neighbor's front door. Whatever works for you.
