There is a public range about 30 minutes from me that is pretty awful. Each bench has a 10+ yard concrete tube that you have to shoot through, which makes the muzzle blast extra loud and just sound terrible. There are only 5 stations (which makes the wait incredibly long on the weekends) and it is closed during the spring and summer. I used to belong to a private range 45 minutes away, but you really could only shoot during the week because it was so jam-packed on the weekends.

There is a farm about an hour away that I hunt, and I can shoot there, but I haven’t really had the chance to set anything up. The one problem is that it has a lot of rolling hills, and I don’t have a range finder. Does anyone have an idea on how to approximate one’s range in hilly terrain w/o a range finder?
