Rain either drowns it out completely, or the shooters stay at home (although there´s a roof on the range) I sometimes shoot trap at the same range, and standing below the forested hill where the range is, I get the impression that most of the sound of the rifles passes overhead, even though it´s quite loud at that distance.
Some days I hear automatic fire somewhat less distinct from a military range much farther away. Clearly, it varies quite a lot under differing conditions.

I remember how the new powder snow used to muffle evey sound to an eeire silence when out and about up north.
I guess snow would shorten range alot too.
