You can use a map. Takes some brainy thinky time though.

Clicking between 2 points will give you the distance. How do you think people sniped before range finders?

it really just takes practise. I've spent enough time in random spots sniping people as they run by to be able to just judge the distance within about 50m. just don't aim for the head without a range finder as it. if you are aiming too high it will just go over their head. aim for the chest, this is DayZ, not COD. chest shots can kill unless it's a weak gun or a very far distance.

The thing that will really take time to get used to though is leading people while running. In probably over 20 hours of sniping over the past month or so. I probably miss about half the shots i take on running targets over 400m away and at 800m i've only landed one shot on a running target. it's times like those i wished i record my gameplay

Agreed. I have a lot of experience sniping in the 400-500m range. And it's very hard for me to hit moving targets unless they're running straight at/or away form me. I usually wait until the y stop to open a door or loot something.

there is also some forumla using windows to range with a scope.

I used to just have a knack for it. I wasn't perfectly accurate, but i could hit 300-400 meter targets pretty easily.

the dayz data base map allows you to set two markers to measure distance, also you can join a low pop and practice
