This is one of the dictionary definitions of the word "shot", see http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-definitions/shot.

In surveying, the 'chain' means 66ft, 10 chains = 1 furlong, but this is a different use of the unit of chain length.

________________________________________________________________

In the imperial system of measurement there are two units referred to as a "chain". As already stated the usual measurement is the Surveyor's chain (also known as Gunter's chain) = 66 feet. The Engineer's chain = 100 feet.

So 75 feet is equal to 1.136 chains, or 0.75 Engineer's chains
