I checked in Robert Leckie's book, "Strong Men Armed" (the Marine Corps in the south Pacific) and he loosely mentions the Tenaru shooting at long range.
But I have read an even more detailed account, describing the shooters as "old school", with campaign hats and various marksman accessorries. The rank and file were missing alot, and they called these old boys up it seems.
Can't find the book/reference though.
