Die Stockpeilung ist eine Methode, um die Höhe eines relativ nahestehenden Objektes zu schätzen. Sie wird vorwiegend von Waldarbeitern und Förstern zur Größenbestimmung von Bäumen ausgeführt, etwa bei der Waldinventur.

The Biltmore stick is a tool used by foresters to estimate tree trunk diameter at breast height. The tool very often includes a hypsometer scale to estimate height as well. It looks much like an everyday yardstick. With practice a Biltmore stick is considered to be exceptionally accurate, more often within 13 millimetres (0.5 inches) on diameters. Some foresters use the tool regularly, however, many prefer to use more accurate tools such as a diameter tape to measure diameter at breast height (DBH) and a clinometer to measure height. On the other end of the spectrum, some foresters consider the use of a Biltmore stick to be no more accurate than their own visual estimates (based on experience estimating the height and DBH of trees), and make it practice for their surveys to be largely comp

The Biltmore stick uses the principle of similar triangles. Similar triangles involve using identical angles but different side lengths.
