Typical Yardage For Short Game Shots?

Refering to lower trajectory, bump and run, knockdown… Any average yardage table out there online for this? It would save me an afternoon measuring yardage.

Low shot – as an example, my 8 iron goes about 130, my 5 iron goes around 165. A smooth swing with proper alignment should result in a fairly consistent shot. Does a low shot that rolls more go the same distance?
