Exactly my point. On flat barren terrain, the wind is much easier to read, but on uneven ground, or with partial broken cover, it can be quite deceiving.

We have a great range, but the simple fact is that most of the not so serious shooters, do the vast majority of their shooting at 100 yards, with a bit of 200 yard shooting thrown in by some. To make things more interesting, several of us like to set clay targets out on the berms, and shoot them. That way, the targets vary in position, and the yardage is different than the target stands in front of them. As well, it is usually obvious if the target breaks, and the dust or thrown dirt indicates misses, so you don't need to walk all the way downrange to see where you are hitting.
