The Navy does not use yards as a measurement of speed/distance, the Navy uses Knots, a nautical mile is equal to 6076 land feet or 1852 meters
400 to 600 yards, comparable to single-shot infantry rifles of the time.
The 69 smoothbore had a maximum effective range of about 100 yards (more or less). The rifled 58 Springfield musket had an effective range of 300 yards against men or 600 yards against larger targets like a man on a horse.
150 yards
It depends on the type of gun used, but ranges were always within visual sighting of the target. Some distances could be very close, as weather conditions or terrain might prevent a tank from seeing its target earlier. Other factors were involved, as they are today. When fighing enemy tanks in World War 2, armor penetration decreased with distance. For example, one tank might easily be able to score a hit on an enemy tank at 1200 yards, but the armor of the enemy tank would resist it until the distance was closed to 800 yards. Following World War 1 experience, the machine guns of World War 2 tanks were good for 1000 yards or better, but it would be seldom for a tank to aquire a soft or personnel target until much closer.
The longest claimed is 2,815 meters or 2.8 kilometers, over 3,000 yards. My personal best hitting a paper target is 225 yards but with a little more practice.....
You would measure a 10-story building using yards. Miles are typically used to measure longer distances, while yards are better suited for measuring height in a building.
Its measured in feet. Yards are used for distances too long.
3 yards
None of them. Centimetres, yards and inches represent distances (or lengths). Grams represent mass.
Under the Grand National Archery Society Rules (Governing Body for the UK): 100 yards for men and 80 yards for ladies. Other distances standard for both sexes are 60 yards, 50 yards, 40 yards, 20 yards and 10 yards, juniors shoot the shorter distances relative to their age group. FITA distances (International): 90mtrs for men and 70mtrs for ladies. The other distances standard for both sexes are 50 meters and 30 meters. In competition, after the men have shot 90mtrs they then shoot 70mtrs, the ladies (on separate targets) after shooting 70mtrs will shoot 60mtrs, both men and women will then shoot 50mtrs / 30mtrs. Men and women do not shoot on the same targets in this type of competition.
you might want to specify in what state you are referring to in Texas its 20 rounds at 3 yards 20 rounds at 7 yards 10 rounds at 15 yards
If a rifle scope adjustment of 1 click moves the reticle 14 inches at 100 yards, the movement at 25 yards can be calculated using the ratio of the distances. Since 25 yards is a quarter of 100 yards, the movement at 25 yards would be 14 inches divided by 4, which equals 3.5 inches. Therefore, 1 click would move the reticle 3.5 inches at 25 yards.
An altimeter is not a unit of distance - it is a device for measuring distances above ground.
They're equally precise but not equal distances, 0.5 miles is 880 yards. 880 yards is probably the more common usage of the two but "half a mile" is commoner still.
In the US system, distances are usually measured in inches, feet, yards, and miles.
Four yards is a unit of length equal to 12 feet or 144 inches. It is commonly used in various contexts, such as measuring fabric, sports fields, or distances. In metric terms, four yards is approximately 3.66 meters.
Distance is determined by measuring the length between the start and end point.For example, short distances can be measured in feet, yards or metres.Longer distances would be measured in miles or kilometres.
