Reply to "Laser distance meter for cal course layout?"

Pete: I've not tried your solo cal course layout. I always had a partner for this. With retirement comes time during the week when my partners work (too bad for them). I have a calibration course near my house but most of the courses I measure these days are 50+ miles away, which means several hours could pass between the final measurement ride and the 2nd calibration. I'm ready to try the solo cal course layout.

I have the instructions you posted in Nov '07 and they are very clear except for the method for applying tension to the steel tape. Can an experienced person do this by "feel"? I've run both eds of the tape and think that careful tensioning by feel would be fine (straight, no kinks, no twists, etc). However, the Calibration Course Application asks for the amount of tension and how applied to the tape. Will "by feel" be an acceptable answer to these questions?
