If you're ranging within 2 yards on the long shots you're doing just fine.Sure, for me it is still enjoyable.
Mike at my home range (which is a flat silhouette shooting range) I pretty well know the range landmarks well enough that I am probably always within 2 yards on my long shots, and I do better on those as compared to an unfamiliar course where I know on some long shots my ranging may be off by as much as 5-6 yards due to my scope. I understand that even with 6 yard error, we are only talking maybe a 3/4 inch vertical difference, and with a 1 7/8“ kill zone at 55 it is still doable if I have a good wind read. But if my shot starts out at a 3/4 inch vertical difference on a circular killzone, then my wind reading margin of error is reduced and provides a higher probability of a miss.
BINGO!!!! Few Hunter shooters take advantage of this. It's been a mystery to me for years.Our club you can see the blocks, not sure if it is to be nice or just the way it works out.
I didn’t see if you mentioned what your scope mount hight is or your zero distance but if you are struggling with the longer shots you could try higher mounts giving you a further zero and less change from say 35-55. Trade off is the ramp from 10-20 getting steep. Ranging 10,11,12,13 will be critical.
These images represent 20 ftlb with scope mounts of 2,3 and 4 inches.
If you look at the videos of European matches they run big risers to flatten the 12ftlb curve.
