What is the best tool for measuring distance (10-200') that isn't a tape?
Question:Laser? Sonic? What brand or type? What surfacce do you need to bounce of?
Answers:
A measuring wheel is more accurate.
A laser can hit something in the foreground and throw it off.
Tape or "chain" measure is the best way.

Laser or wheel
might try a roller with a wheel that adds feet to the meter.
maybe a laser, it would depend how accurate you need the measurement.

Get a transit. A good one will set you back about a grand, but if you need "dead-nuts" accuracy, thats the way to go.
