look at this!

Metres are more acurate and easyer to use.
The "foot" measure started from people long ago, that had no way of measuring something right. So they estimated the lenght of objects by comparing it to the lenght of their feet (wich is about 30cm for most people, but never certain). Needless to say, it could get confusing.
In general, people who measure in feet use Inches for small lenghts and people who use meters use centimeters. An inch is basically 2.5 centimeters, so centimeters can be more specific.

You are right in the 2.5 cm per inch, I actually misquoted that part of my statment. I was going to Engineering msrmnt of 100ths.
.0825 ft per inch.
OOOPPPSSS.

I use the 2.5cm = 1 inch thing to convert about anything, but it get's inacurate as the lenght increases. Notice that i estimated 7 meters to be over 23', but in fact it's a little less.

[latazyo]

the reason it gets inaccurate is because it's 2.54 cm/in to add another decimal and that's a significant amount with large numbers

I would never pose like that with a dead anything. Why do we as a species what to be photographed with dead things whether we've killed them or not. I haven't hunted in a few years but if I ever do get a chance to hunt again I won't be posing along side of my dinner.
My two cents,

Correct again. The subject of meters can go on & on.>(

When using astranomical numbers, (like state plane coordinates)
You MUST include ALL the decimals, for a proper conversion, or you may be hundreds of meters off your tragectory.
1 Meter = 3.28083989501 Ft. Or as close as my calculator will bring me.
Some surveying and engineering books will provide you with a 17 digit multiplier for extra large, or extra small numbers.
But this is a herp forum
So for the common purposes, you can go 3.25 Ft to a meter for rough calcs.

There pretty close, three feet equals a yard (36 inches) A meter is roughly 39 inches

Who knows if the people killed it..it could have just died...anyways...big succka
