Used to rough in my picks by eye from the seat, now I walk the radius with a tape first
Got burned twice last month on a tight pour in Gary when my eyeball said 20 feet and the tape said 23. How many of you actually pace out the swing radius before you set up, or am I the only one who learned this the hard way?
Man, walking the radius is the right move but the tape has to be the one deciding, not your feet. Pace count changes with your stride, boots, and how tired you are by lunch, so it can drift a couple feet easy. Good on you for catching it now instead of after another Gary pour.
