And there are people that would scream how unsafe that was walking down range of a gun (even if it were cleared & unattended)... FWIW, I think it was a perfect use of what you had on-hand to do the task at-hand. Where there is a will there is a way. My dad was the master of improvising living way out in the sticks, having limited budget. My chief concern would be some punk kids driving by and grabbing it.

It's TRANSIT. Transom is what keeps yer boat motor on yer boat. But that's a good idea!

It's actually the beam separating the door from the window over the door. I had to look it up, like you I thought it was the window part. |

In my youth I recall reading about burglars gaining access to offices through them as they were frequently unlocked or ajar. That was probably just the then verbal shorthand. |

As an alternate -
A while back, in order to layout a grass pasture landing strip, I took my Garmin 295 to a property pin on the far side of a cedar thicket and set a zero. Then I went to where I wanted the other end of the strip to be (grassy field area) and said go-to to the pin zero I had set. The Garmin struck me a line which I laid a string of blaze orange Homer buckets from where I stood in the grass pasture right up to the cedar thicket. Had the guy keep the Homer buckets in sight as he cleared his way through with a track-hoe. The Homer buckets were my blaze orange dots.
