[Reader-users] using the training sheet

[David Evans]

Dear John,

I said that I brace my arm against my knee, for stability, not the distance.
I am 5'-9" tall.
I raise or lower my hand to get the distance I think is about right and take 
the picture.  I am not using my leg as a yardstick. Just use a little common 
sense here.
