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

I agree with Pete regarding both topics in this thread - that "by feel" is fine, IF the person applying the tension has actually measured the desired tension with a spring - and that steel taping is not such an ordeal that all the expense and effort for electronic measurement of a cal course is normally justified. But, I do understand different situations require different methods.

My caution when using the electronic distance finder is that there are no dips or humps in the course. I have a course that has two runoff dips in it. An EDM would not measure this course accurately, since there is added distance going through the dips (just as runners would have the same distance).
