Laser? Sonic? What brand or type? What surfacce do you need to bounce of?

A measuring wheel is more accurate.
A laser can hit something in the foreground and throw it off.
Tape or "chain" measure is the best way.
Get a surveyors chain. That's what you need.

might try a roller with a wheel that adds feet to the meter.
maybe a laser, it would depend how accurate you need the measurement.

It will bounce of pretty much any solid surface.

Get a transit. A good one will set you back about a grand, but if you need "dead-nuts" accuracy, thats the way to go.
