I still have one. Length of balsa painted to show the bounce of round-shot. I have the triangle of piano wire for grape-shot, too.

Excellent. I recall these also.  Featherstone's rules were the first 'commercial' rules I've ever played. As a teenager, I previously used my own rules and was completely unaware of what was 'out there.' I also recall a shell burst template for Featherstone's ACW rules  - each burst circle 2" diameter(?) which I think you used in conjunction with the stick.

We still use them for our Airfix Napoleonics 
Our grape-shot canister wire is a much more sophisticated shape
