How does the “Only a Few Yards Away” virtual exhibit showcase the intersection of photography, painting, and poetry. What makes this collaborative project unique in its approach to interdisciplinary art. How can viewers engage with and contribute to the exhibit during its run.
The Concept Behind “Only a Few Yards Away”
“Only a Few Yards Away” is a unique virtual art exhibition that brings together the talents of three accomplished artists from different disciplines. This collaborative project showcases the work of photographer Holaday Mason, painter and collage artist Celeste Goyer, and poet James Cushing. As members of the Wild Orchid Collective, an interdisciplinary artist group based in Venice, California, these artists have been working together on various creative projects since 2014.
The exhibit’s title, “Only a Few Yards Away,” evokes a sense of proximity and intimacy, which is fitting for a project that aims to bridge the gap between different art forms and bring them into close conversation with one another. By presenting photography, paintings, and poetry side by side in a virtual gallery space, the exhibit invites viewers to explore the interconnections between visual and written art.
The Virtual Gallery Experience
Hosted by the Mike Kelley Gallery at Beyond Baroque, “Only a Few Yards Away” offers a unique virtual gallery experience. The exhibition is designed to showcase the artworks in a digital environment that mimics the feel of a physical gallery space. This approach allows viewers to engage with the art from the comfort of their own homes while still providing an immersive and interactive experience.
How does the virtual gallery enhance the viewing experience? By presenting the artworks in a digital format, the exhibit can incorporate multimedia elements and provide a more dynamic interaction between the visual art and the accompanying poetry. This format also allows for greater accessibility, enabling art enthusiasts from around the world to explore the exhibition without geographical limitations.
Pairing Visual Art with Poetry
One of the most intriguing aspects of “Only a Few Yards Away” is the pairing of each visual artwork with a prose poem by James Cushing. This deliberate juxtaposition of image and text creates a rich, multi-layered experience for the viewer. How does this pairing influence the interpretation of both the visual art and the poetry?
- It encourages viewers to consider the relationship between visual and written expression
- It provides multiple entry points for engaging with each piece
- It creates a dialogue between the artists’ different modes of creativity
- It challenges viewers to find connections and resonances between the image and text
Exploring the Artists’ Contributions
Each of the three artists involved in “Only a Few Yards Away” brings a unique perspective and set of skills to the exhibition. Let’s take a closer look at their individual contributions and artistic backgrounds.

Know Your Bullet Drop and Range When Hunting Whitetails
Accurate range estimation is crucial to determining where your bullet will impact the target.
Laser rangefinders can provide quick, easy and accurate ranges. Photo by Ron Sinfelt.
By Travis Faulkner
When you miss, it’s always good to know why. One of the most common reasons for missing a shot, particularly a longer shot, is not figuring the correct range to the target. In close, an error in range estimation may not make enough difference to matter. But farther away, that same amount of error can often mean a miss. The reason is that even though we all know that a bullet drops below the center of our crosshairs when we shoot beyond the distance for which we have zeroed, many of us don’t fully understand how quickly the rate of that drop increases, the farther out we reach.
Let me explain.
Let’s say you’re hunting with a 150-grain softnose .308 Winchester load, which is one of the most popular whitetail cartridges in America. It leaves the muzzle at about 2,820 feet per second, according to the manufacturer’s ballistic chart, and you have zeroed your gun at 100 yards, which is the most commonly used sight-in distance among all deer hunters. You’ve studied that chart, and you know that with a 100-yard zero your bullet will hit about 1.2 inches low at 150 yards, 3.75 inches low at 200 yards, and a whopping 14.25 inches low at 300 yards – should you ever dare to shoot that far. You’re prepared to deal with that, because you have a scope with a trajectory-compensating reticle, and you’ve checked to make sure where the bullets actually hit by firing at known-distance targets on a shooting range.
But when you get to the field and encounter an animal that’s not standing at exactly 150, 200, or 300 yards, what happens if you don’t correctly determine how far away he really is? Well, if you use that .
308 to shoot at a deer you think is 100 yards away and he’s actually at 150 yards away, it probably won’t make enough difference to matter, because the bullet only drops an inch and a quarter crossing that additional 50 yards and you’ll still be well within the kill radius if you’ve aimed for the center of his heart/lung zone.
But what if you think he’s 200 yards away and he’s actually 250 yards away? Different story. Your bullet is going to drop an additional 4.3 inches below the 200-yard impact point traveling across that additional 50 yards. So even if you put your reticle’s 200-yard drop marker right on his heart, you’re going to hit more than four inches low. You’re going to miss his heart, and probably shoot under him entirely, even if you’re steady as a rock when you press the trigger.
And, if you range a deer to be at 250 yards (which is a shot at a trophy buck most of us would take in a heartbeat with a .308), and he’s actually at 300 yards, you won’t even touch a hair, even if you’ve got your aim solidly placed for the 250-yard distance, because traveling that additional 50 yards from 250 to 300, the bullet is going to drop yet another six and a quarter inches.
The same applies when we are hunting with handguns, slug guns, muzzleloaders (or even bows), as well. A lot of hunters think that trajectory issues and bullet drop issues are really only important for long-range rifle hunting. Not so. In fact, the problems caused by mistaking the range to your target are often even greater with such “shorter-range” hunting tools than with a high-power centerfire gun. Handguns, slug guns, and muzzleloaders are not as “flat-shooting” as centerfire rifles; their bullets drop quicker and at a faster rate.
Consider a modern full-rifled 12-gauge slug gun firing a high-tech 260-grain sabot slug that leaves the muzzle at about 1,900 fps velocity. If zeroed at 50 yards (still a popular sight-in distance among slug hunters), that slug only drops 1.7 inches by the time it gets to 100 yards. Again, not enough to make a telling difference. But if you think your buck is 100 yards away and he’s actually 150 yards away, your slug is going to hit more than five inches below your 100-yard aiming point.
My own personal favorite new-technology 12-gauge sabot “slug-rifle” will shoot 150-yard groups that are right at two inches with its favorite load, and it will hold a four-inch group at 200 yards. I have no aversion whatsoever to going for a trophy shot at either of those distances with that gun if the opportunity presents itself. But what if I guess the range at 150 and it’s closer to 200? There is nearly a full foot of drop for that slug across those 50 yards. It doesn’t matter how accurate the gun is, or how well I aim for the distance I think the animal is standing. If I don’t have the range correct, I might as well be throwing rocks. And as it gets farther away, the drop becomes increasingly worse, at an increasing rate.
How easy is it to make incorrect range estimates in the field? Really easy, even between 100 and 150 yards, even for the most experienced hunter, depending on terrain, vegetation cover and the size of the animal as it appears through his scope. Out at 200-250 yards, or 250-300 yards, it’s a rare hunter who can guess distance with enough accuracy to overcome the problem of their bullet’s rapidly decaying trajectories, particularly when hunting in unfamiliar country.
I can’t, and I’m better at it than most. How dare I say that? Because I’ve practiced, practiced, practiced, everywhere I hunt anything across the country, making guesses on how far rocks and trees (and animals) are away, and then verifying with a laser rangefinder.
When hunting with others, we do it as a game, each guessing, then verifying. I win more than I lose, but not so much these days as before, now that more and more hunters are playing this game because they’re becoming more aware of just how fast their bullets drop the farther out they get.
The laser rangefinder is the critical tool in all this. Get one if you don’t have one, no matter what firearm or archery device you hunt with, and use it – all the time. When hunting on the move, have it attached to your body, clothing, or gear with some type of auto-returning retention device (there are many) so you can instantly throw it up to your eye and get a read, then release it to take your shot.
When hunting from a stand or a blind, use the rangefinder to mentally mark known distances to landmarks (bushes, trees, fenceposts, rock outcropping, whatever) all around you, so when something steps out, you’ll already have a close-enough estimate in your mind of how far away he is.
Bottom line? Know your gun’s trajectory. Shoot it at known-distance targets to make sure you know how your scope indexes at different key distances. And use a laser rangefinder in the field — every single time you hunt.
Tennessee Titans’ Derrick Henry still has realistic shot at 2K yards
If running back Derrick Henry realistically gets to within reach of 2,000 rushing yards, the Tennessee Titans absolutely have to let him chase it.
Heading into the final week of the season, the Titans’ superstar running back is only 223 yards away from becoming the eighth member of the elusive 2,000-yard club.
That amount of rushing yards seems like a steep hill to climb with one week to go, but if there is one running back who can make that happen, it is King Henry.
The Titans’ superstar running back has topped the 200-yard mark a total of four times in his young career, and he has scored at least two touchdowns each time, which happens to be an NFL record.
The Alabama product’s single-game high is 238 yards, so he’s rushed for more than the 223 he needs before, and, most importantly, Henry has rushed for over 200 yards in each of his past two meetings with Houston.
In the Titans’ 2019 Week 17 finale versus the Texans, Henry rushed for 211 yards and 3 touchdowns on 32 carries. More recently, he torched the Texans’ defense in the Week 6 matchup when we he went for 212 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. One of those scores went for 94 yards, also.
If Henry is able to replicate those performances against the second-worst run defense in the NFL, the Titans will not only be AFC South champions, but they will have grabbed a massive confidence boost heading into the playoffs.
Obviously a team win is the most important thing to achieve on Sunday, and whatever game the Titans have to play in order to ensure they end the day as division champions is what they must do.
However, this offense desperately needs to get rolling again so they can have some sort of momentum heading into the playoffs, especially after last Sunday night’s debacle in the snow.
Of course, King Henry can play a major role in doing just that, 2,000 yards or not.

Fiddling. That’s one of the major problems with modern, firearms deer hunters. Bowhunters seem to practice and train and figure out their operating procedures so they can ready, aim and fire smoothly and relatively quickly.
Rifle hunters? Not so much.
“I plug my ears and watch the deer, expecting it to absorb the hit at any second, but it doesn’t happen because these guys I’m guiding are turning scope dials, folding out bipods and otherwise fiddling around with gear when they should be shooting!” a Montana guide told me. “More than half of the deer, which should have been dead, turn and walk away. Drives me crazy!” Don’t be that guy. Train to shoot smoothly, quickly, precisely. Here are seven tips to help you get it right.
Tip No. 1: Hop on the Bike
Bicycle racers don’t shift gears smoothly and at the right time by wishful thinking. They ride and practice for hours upon hours. Do the same with your rifle. It doesn’t require expensive ammo. Just lock up your cartridges, stuff a white cloth in your rifle’s action/chamber so it can’t possibly harbor a round and start handling it … daily. Get the gun out of the safe at least once a day, double check to make sure it’s safe and start carrying it, getting it off your shoulder, raising it to your eye, finding targets in the scope and pretend firing.
You are building muscle memory as well as muscle, both of which will help you shoot faster and more accurately afield. Work up a system whereby you quickly, smoothly and consistently get the rifle to your shoulder, up to your face and on target, ready to fire. The following exercise will help with that.
Tip No. 2: Eyes on Target
Don’t look at your scope and expect to find the target in it. It’s not in the scope, it’s out there, wherever “there” happens to be. If you change focus from a distant deer to the scope right in front of your face, you’ll lose the deer and spend precious seconds weaving the gun around, trying to find it in the scope. The key to finding game in a scope is to keep both eyes open and hard focused on the target while you raise the rifle to your face. Don’t duck your head to the rifle. Lift the butt and comb to your face. If it doesn’t fit, raise your shooting hand elbow. This raises the shoulder pocket as well as the rifle. If it still doesn’t fit, lower the scope if possible or add an aftermarket, lace-on comb pad.
It’s helpful to start with a scope at its lowest power. That increases field-of-view so you can see objects near your target, helping you to locate it. But really, if you maintain that hard focus on the target, it should show up darn near under the reticle. As you practice and improve, crank up scope power to 6X, 8X, 10X, whatever. Experienced, trained scope shooters can find a running jackrabbit 30 yards away through a 10X scope.
Tip No. 3: Dry Fire
Buy a snap cap (dummy) cartridge or three for your rifle. Load them up and go through the motions of loading, firing and reloading. Repeat. Concentrate on your hold/aim and trigger control. Dry firing is perfect practice because it builds the proper trigger control muscle memory — because you know the rifle isn’t loaded and can’t fire, you don’t flinch. Do this several times a week in conjunction with tips No. 1 and No. 2 above. Observe all safety rules and always, but always, double check that the magazine and chamber are empty of any live cartridges.
It’s really best to lock all live cartridges away until heading to the range or field.
Tip No. 4: Adjust for MPBR
Maximum Point Blank Range is the ultimate zeroing system for quickly hitting a deer out to 300 yards without knowing the exact distance. No time wasted using a laser rangefinder. If you zero a typical, modern, bottlenecked deer cartridge (from .243 Win. through .300 Win. Mag. shooting spire point bullets) at 100 yards, you’ve wasted its potential. You’ll need to know if your quarry is at 200 yards, 250 yards, 300 yards, etc., because the bullet drops rather quickly. It never rises so much as an inch above your line-of-sight, but will drop about 4 inches at 200 yards and almost 12 inches at 300 yards. Zero this same bullet at 250 yards and it will strike about 3 inches high at 150 yards, 2 inches high at 200 yards and only 3 or 4 inches low at 300 yards. If you aim for the vertical center of a deer’s chest (the average chest being 17 inches top to bottom) you will strike it somewhere in the lungs or heart clear out to 300 yards.
No hold over or under ever required.
You can figure out the exact flight (trajectory curve) of any load with computer programs or by zeroing 2 to 3 inches high at 100 yards, then shooting a big paper target (always aim for the center) at 150 yards, 200 yards, 250 yards and 300 yards. Most hunters are pleasantly surprised to see all holes no more than 4 or 5 inches above or below their aiming point, and this falls easily within the killing zone of a whitetail’s chest.
Tip No. 5 Assume the Position
“Assuming the position” doesn’t mean you’re under arrest. It means knowing how to quickly assume the steadiest shooting position for any hunting situation. Chances are this won’t be a shooting bench with sand bags, so get off that bench once you’re zeroed and practice field positions. Prone is steady, but rarely works because of grass, rocks and rising ground. Sitting with a support bipod or tripod is versatile and gets you above most ground cover. You can spin on your butt to change shooting angles, raise or lower the bipod to change shooting angles steeply up or downhill, place elbows on knees to steady the gun, lean back against rocks, trees, etc.
to slow body motion. A trained shooter can reliably put bullets on target to at least 400 yards this way. But it takes practice. Try it. Figure out how to get your butt on the ground quickly, rifle to your shoulder, get the sticks under the fore-end and scope on target. Go for smooth and consistent, then work toward fast. Ideally you should be able to go from “there’s the buck!” to “bang, you’re dead” in about five seconds.
Tip No. 6: Read the Situation
Train to constantly assess terrain and habitat to anticipate your most efficient action should a shot suddenly be presented. Keep your scope power rather low. You should realize if brush is so high a sitting shot won’t work before you sit to attempt one. Don’t waste the time. Go for your steadiest standing shot. In hilly terrain you might need to run backward up a hill to clear a shot over intervening brush. If a stand of trees is nearby, you should anticipate leaning against one for rifle support on a steady standing shot — and know how to best do this.
Tip No. 7: Train, Train, Train
Once you’ve addressed all of the above, seal the deal with live field shooting. The more you go through the actions and fire at deer-sized targets at varying, unknown distances from 10 to 400 yards, the better you’ll know your gun, its trajectory and yourself. Train to perform smoothly, quickly and accurately. After dropping 10 or 20 consecutive rounds in a deer-sized target out to 300 yards, you’ll KNOW you can do it. Then, when that big buck stops between two trees 273.67 yards away to stare at you, you’ll get him before he runs away. That’ll make you happy and, should you be working with a guide, it will make him so happy he might give YOU a tip. Well, maybe not.
Hunt honest, shoot straight.

Velocity and Ballistic Coefficient
Bullet mass and shape, together known as ballistic coefficient (B.
C.), combine with velocity to determine how flat a bullet shoots, how hard it hits and how much it is deflected by wind. The higher the muzzle velocity and bullet B.C., the better. This is the real value in magnum cartridges. The extra punch doesn’t matter so much as the flatter trajectory. Maximum point blank range with a .618 B.C., 140-grain .264 bullet driven to 3,200 fps extends to nearly 350 yards. Zero this bullet 2 1/2 inches high at 100 yards and it will peak 3 inches high at 150 yards, be dead on at 275 yards, fall 11/2 inches low at 300 yards and just 5 inches low at 350 yards. Aimed for the center of a 12-inch circle, it will score every time — if the shooter does his or her part.

Only Yards Away but Miles Apart
The most apropos phrase to describe the events revolving the election from the past few days would be “a failure to unify.” One does not require clairvoyance to predict that this will be a theme which continues to plague our nation to its bedrock.
The 2020 Presidential Election simply invigorated the partisan hatred and feud that has been boiling beneath the surface for the past four years and the claims made by President Trump of a fraudulent election stoked the fires burning in the hearts of his supporters, but also his critics.
A new president has, for better or worse, been elected by the people of the United States, but as a nation we are unable, much like the president himself, to concede our partisanship and embrace a national pride and respect for our own countrymen.
When multiple major news organizations announced on the morning of Nov. 7 that they projected Joseph R. Biden Jr. would win the state of Pennsylvania — thus securing the 2020 Presidential Election — there were to be two obvious but opposite reactions: celebration or disappointment.
It seemed that only momentarily, the protests and demonstrations of joy would break out at any minute. In New York, Philadelphia and Boston, supporters of the Biden campaign flocked to the streets in celebration of President Elect Biden’s election. Here in Madison, it followed the same spirit.
Students, residents and activists alike congregated outside of the State Street corner of the Wisconsin State Capitol Building in what turned out to be a massive gathering. When I arrived around 1 p.m. on Nov. 7, the crowd was sizable, yet modest. However, by 3 p.m., it was overrun by supporters, as they listened intently to those speaking from the megaphone at the steps. One unnamed activist who took center stage asked all those in attendance to make merry and not engage with anyone who came to “disrupt their celebration.” Some began to dance in the street, as spirited music blared from speakers.
While this was occurring though, there was an equal and opposite reaction only 150 yards away, on the other side of the building. Disillusioned by the loss of the election, Trump supporters gathered bearing “Make America Great Again” hats and American flags. Chants rippled through the crowd such as “stop the count” and “they are stealing.” Many were dressed in camo and some brandished rifles and pistols as they made use of open carry laws here in Wisconsin.
Eventually, participants from the Biden celebration made their way over to voice their disapproval of the Trump supporters and their continuous shouts declaring the election to be a vast conspiracy of falsehoods. Clashes emerged and individuals from both sides began to shout at each other and obscenities were exchanged, but virtually nothing at all was said. You could feel it within both crowds that if you were a member of the “opposing” side, you were not welcome and sharp looks of disdain would promptly be shot your way.
Saturday’s events in Madison were but a microcosm of an entire nation’s hatred and animosity between the divided political groups. Some in the media have claimed that they hope there is a return to normalcy after this election and that the bridge of bipartisanship will be repaired but I must admit, I doubt this with the deepest of convictions.

These two groups of people were a football field away from each other. They may have grown up in neighboring towns. Perhaps they even went to the same church or rooted for the same football team. Today, however, it was clear that they viewed each other as enemies. The State Capitol building felt as if it had territories of rival factions, for a day, and if one was to walk 100 yards in a different direction, they may find themselves behind enemy lines.
When agitators from either side would rally to the other to engage in debate, such debate was nowhere to be seen. No intelligent arguments were conveyed to the other, and no one tried to explain their own beliefs and reconcile. They yelled at each other, they spouted claims of racism or communism. Nothing was achieved.
Even in the midst of an election with record voter turnout, there was not any mutual admiration for the process of democracy.
These events seemed to be a perfect example of the tension that will continue to reach a boiling point, as the fight for the Senate and the House of Representatives will continue to rage on. In particular, Georgia — which had been at center stage for much of the Presidential Election — will experience two runoffs this January which could very well decide how the Senate majority could lean, whether left or right. This battle will continue to rage on in the coming months and I predict it may turn ugly, especially between Senate leaders who are striving with equal vitriol to foster party superiority within the Senate. The frustration we will no doubt see play out between the aisles, will continue to spill into our very own streets as well.
Such a display was troubling to say the least. I suspect similar scenes are being played out across the nation currently, and because of this great political chasm, President-Elect Joe Biden certainly has his work cut out for him. It is unclear how he will try to bridge a gap that seems cavernous, or if it can be at all.
Saturday was meant to be an example of democracy and of the power of our First Amendment rights which granted us the freedom to stand outside the State Capitol Building and either protest, or celebrate. In some cases, that devolved and laid bare a path for our primal instincts of anger and mistrust to prevail instead of our virtues. We are still a nation which refuses to reevaluate our convictions, on both sides of the aisle.
Perhaps we as a nation can heal the wounds we have dealt to each other. Perhaps not. Nonetheless, in a completely apolitical sentiment, I think we, Republicans and Democrats, moderate and far, should wish President-Elect Joe Biden all the luck in the world. I suspect he will need it.

Estacada rental burns as other home untouched 100 yards away
Kathy and Pete Boden’s house is fine, but they have no water
by: Lisa Balick, KOIN 6 News Staff
Posted: / Updated:
ESTACADA, Ore. (KOIN) — Kathy and Pete Boden had 2 homes on their property in Estacada, one they lived in and one they rented out. When the Riverside Fire engulfed the area after the Labor Day windstorm, their home was left standing.
But 100 yards away, their rental home was destroyed. The Bess family — Michelle, Jeff, Jacob and Maddy — living there had just minutes to flee in their car as the fire approached. Firefighters said the home burned up in 20 minutes.

Estacada evacuation orders downgraded to Level 1
Boden said there were sentimental items the renters lost in the blaze.

“She had 2 urns in there – but they were wood – of her parents,” Boden told KOIN 6 News. “She said she had a necklace in here with her mother’s ashes in it. We don’t know if that will ever be found.”

Even though the Bodens house was left standing, they’re really not staying there. They rely on a well and the pump house burned, taking away their water. They’re still keeping their cars packed with belongings as they come and go daily.
Neighbors continue to put out spot fires in the area.
The evacuation level for the City of Estacada was downgraded to Level 1 — “Be Ready” — effective at 1 p.m. Monday, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office announced.
As of Monday morning, containment of the Riverside Fire is up to 25%. The inferno has swallowed nearly 140,000 acres of the Mt. Hood National Forest.
A virtual community meeting is set for Monday evening on the Riverside Fire Facebook page

Murray believes the Cards will have three receivers with 1000 yards. But Hopkins needs to be on his guard – First & Goal
Many agree that Arizona is heading in the right direction.The team plays in one of the most difficult divisions, but relies on the attack (inviting Cliff Kingsbury to the coaching bridge) and is slowly picking up the most powerful receiver corps. Yes, of course, let’s not forget about the draft pick of franchise quarterback Kyler Murray.
Murray was the offensive rookie of the year last season (3,722 yards, 20 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, 64.4 percent completes). He more or less lives up to high expectations, and his confidence in his hosts is so strong that Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins and Christian Kirk, according to Kyler, could turn out a 1000-yard reception season.Everyone.
Can Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins and Christian Kirk all get 1,000 yards this season: “Oh, yeah for sure. I definitely think that’s possible.” – Kyler Murray.
– Josh Weinfuss (@joshweinfuss) August 13, 2020
Three receivers, tight end or running back with 4-digit receiving yards in a year? This has happened only five times in NFL history. True, the last team with such a feature was the Cardinals in 2008. Then Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and Steve Briston figured out 262 catches for three and all scored more than 1000 yards, and the team reached the Super Bowl.
Arizona top veteran Larry has hit the 1,000 yard mark nine times in his career. He will soon turn 37, but he stopped just 196 yards from repeating last season with the rookie quarterback. Hopkins has had three consecutive 1000-yard seasons. As for Kirk, his best record so far is 709 yards and three touchdowns for the 2019 season.
If Murray manages to add quality in his second year in the NFL (as did, say, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson), then Arizona are able to carry out the plans of their passer.True, the same Hopkins will probably have a harder time than the Texans. There he used to be the main (and sometimes – almost the only) target at the reception. In the 2017 season, he had the best 174 assists in the league, and over the past three years this figure has never dropped below 150 shots. In another attack system, the degree of his involvement in the game may be somewhat lower.

Yards from scrimmage
Yards from scrum is a football statistic on the grid.In the game of soccer, progress is measured by the progress of the soccer ball towards the opposing team’s goal line. Progress can be made during play by the offensive team by advancing the ball from the advance point at the start of the game, known as the scrum line. When the attacking team propels the ball forward by throwing the ball, the ball carrier is awarded a difference in progress, measured in yards. When the attacking team propels the ball forward by receiving a pass, the player who catches the reception is awarded the difference in progress, measured in reception yards.Although the ball can also be promoted into the penalty area, these yards do not count as scrum yards. Progress lost to quarterback bags is classified differently across the leagues of the game, with the rules in some leagues changing over time. The sum of haste yards and reception yards is called scrum yards. This definition of yardage differs from a general offense, which is a yardstick for throwing the ball rather than receiving the ball.
This is an important stat for scattering defenders who make a significant contribution to the attack on the pass.Many teams have special pass formations in which the best receiving runners are replaced in the game. Some running backs are notable for being their primary running and passing weapon. Notable running backs known for scrum yards include Roger Craig, the first National Football League (NFL) player to zip 1,000 yards that season, Walter Payton, the NFL career record holder for runners (until he was broken by Emmit Smith.). and Chris Johnson, one season NFL record holder.Thurman Thomas once led the NFL for yards from scrum for four years in a row.
Scrum yards are different from universal yards, which include all kinds of return yards, such as opening yards, scrum return, intercept return, and scrum return, in addition to scrum yards.

What is the size and marking rules of a standard FIFA football field
Football is the most popular sport in the world.The rules of the game are the same for all countries and continents. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a game between children on the street or a world championship.
The first “universal” football rules were adopted in 1863. And in 1886, four British football associations founded the International Football Association Council (IFAB), solely responsible for the development and adoption of the rules of the game. FIFA joined IFAB in 1913.
The laws of football are relatively simple. But the requirements for the football field must strictly comply with the established standards for size and arrangement.The football arena is a complex engineering project. And the higher the level of competition, the greater the requirements for compliance with the FIFA Laws of the Game.

Rules for measuring the parameters of the field for football
Traditionally, all parameters of the football field are measured in yards (British distance unit), since it was the British associations that came together and founded the IFAB.
Measurements are taken outside of the lines as they are part of the area they are bounding.
The ratio of the length and width of a football field depends on its purpose. It is important that the sideline of the court is longer than the goal line.
Marking rules and dimensions apply directly to the playing court. But when designing a football stadium, it is important to consider the areas around the pitch behind the goal line and the technical areas behind the sidelines of the football field. Since the turf extends beyond the marking lines of the football field to ensure the game and the placement of the technical area.
What is the size of a standard soccer field?
The maximum and minimum dimensions of the football field by marking:
Width : minimum 45 meters (50 yards) and maximum 90 meters (100 yards).
Length : minimum 90 meters (100 yards) and maximum 120 meters (130 yards).
What is the area of fields in hectares: from 0.405 hectares to 1.08 hectares (or from 4050 to 10800 square meters ).
Important to remember!
When designing football field , it is necessary to provide space outside the playing field (runs or outs)
Such safety zones for players are needed around the entire perimeter of the playing field.
Runs or Outs – The distance from the edge of the playing field to the first seats that allows free movement of players and match officials. The free space outside the site must be flat.
Race size (FIFA and UEFA requirements): minimum 1.5 meters around the entire perimeter of the football field, from the same turf as on the playing field. Tiles or treadmills are placed behind the turf.
How many meters is the football field for international matches?
Length : minimum 100 meters (110 yards) and maximum 120 meters (130 yards).
Width : minimum 64 meters (70 yards) and maximum 75 meters (80 yards).
The size of the safety zone: 7.5 m behind the goal line and 6 m on the sides of the playing field. Therefore, the total area of the field, including the playing field and the surrounding area up to the first line of seating, is 120 m by 80 m.
For large events and important matches where a large influx of media is expected, it should be expanded to 125m by 85m.
The above recommendations for the parameters of the football field are extremely important for the hosting of the FIFA World Cup.The implementation of which is closely monitored by the International Football Federation (FIFA).
The picture shows an example of marking a football field with a minimum size of 45 * 90 m.

Football markings
The playing football field must be:
- rectangular;
- is indicated by solid lines;
- green grass.
Football pitch is applied with white grass, the same height as the entire pitch. All lines must be the same width, but no more than 12 cm (5 inches). It is generally accepted that the standard width of the marking for football is 10 centimeters.
Marking lines must be continuous and enter the area they delimit.
The two lines that delimit the football field along the long sides are called side lines, and the two short lines are called goal lines.
White artificial grass may be used to mark a football field with natural turf.
What is the center of the field? How to determine the location of the center of the field?
In each of the halves of regular and extra time, as well as after each goal scored, the players of the two teams go to the center of the field to make the kick-off.
To calculate the location of the center of the field, the football field is divided into two equal parts by the middle line.
