Does anyone know what Moose was referring to by saying "The Duck is in the Noose"?

This post explains the story behind that:

The duck in the noose was the sniper's phrase. It refers a folk tale in which the duck flys off with its captor and drops it from the air. I'm still waiting...

I think and hope the mistakes in this article are from the author. I would hate an instuctor would say a rifle on a "tripod" or a retired veteran would mention he can hit coins with an M-16 with iron sights.

It was a very big deal for my son and I to earn our Expert badges, although earning an NRA badge is much harder. I'm presently stuck at expert and I need at least five more points on my average to become an NRA Master.
