Question about indoor shooting......

I know in our indoor shoots........we already know the distance from the front to the back. We also know the distance from corner to corner.

Once you go to a back, early target.....don't you know the yardage (pretty close, anyways) to the future targets? (if you're smart enough to step off on your return to the line)

Not sure how this one is set up.....but I know you could step off anything you wanted to in our indoor shoots.....and no one would be the wiser.
Jeff:

This one is a bit more difficult than normal indoor 3D. You have to judge the distance to the wall in front of you, and then the distance on drastic uphill shots to where the targets sit in the bleachers. Not only do you have to judge distance, but you also have to know how to cut yardage for uphill angles. For example.......a 40 yard target you can't just shoot for 40 yards, you would likely end up with a high 8 or maybe even a 5. You have to learn how to compensate for this, and there is no way to really get prepared for that part of it.

This is a pic that shows what the course looks like so you can get an idea of the extreme angles:
