I too have found the price of a range finder a bit rough on my wallet. I rely heavily on known distances and making educated judgment calls in between.
Say if I set one pin at twenty yards and my next to 30 yards, and a deer comes in between the two, I can judge weather the deer is half way or closer to one side or the other. I do this by estimating between the pins, if the deer is 1/4 the distance behind my first marker I can imagine there is a distance pin 1/4 of the way down to my next pin.
