I am vacationing up there with my boat next week so I want to make sure I have a couple of things straight from this thread.

First, what is a GFBL? I'm not sure, but I don't think I want to be one.

Second, the 150' rule seems easy but is it? I do alot of boating in rivers and small lakes. How do you judge whether you are 150' away or not? Seems like kind of a hard distance to judge. Any rules of thumb that you use to estimate whether you are 150' or not? I'm just glad they don't have the 600' rule in effect anymore...I don't see how anyone can judge that distance with any kind of accuracy.

Do I need to go buy a range finder?

Thanks.
