So how do you do that, and how accurate are you?

A real pilot will know the runway length and uses that as a "yardstick"
of sorts absent an instrument that gives you the data.

Example: I flew to KSBD Saturday and was told to enter on a 3 mile
final. Knowing the runway is about 2 miles long, I aimed for a spot
about one and a half runway lengths out. You only need enough accuracy
to maintain separation from other traffic.
