Yep, that was what hed did. Dropped the string to the point
marked by the three stones. It was the same sort of thing. A
marksman measuring and calculating then when the time comes
for the shot he's got everything aligned ahead of time.

I'm fuzzy on it, but I'm under the impression the civil war
incident invovled the Civil War sniper measuring the range
at night eithe by pacing it off or something.
