I'd like to measure distance at the range. It's not the biggest deal, but I'd like to confirm how far the target is from me.

Any old gps app ought to do it. Hell, Earth should work.

I use a range finder.
Another option, when you go to hang target walk it counting. I can step around a yard, close enough for this purpose.

This is what I do.  Steps for short distance.  Laser Range finder for longer distances.

An old man, well now that I think of it, he was about my age, said the same thing. I'm not sniping trespassers on my property at 400m so I'll go with stepping off.

Yeah, I used to pace count that shit (68 paces/100mtrs for me) till I got a rangefinder.  WAY better.

Have also used an app called US Topo Maps with great success in such things.

I have Easy Measure on my phone.  Supposed to measure distance and I think height.  I've never really got it figured out though.
