Interesting details - say though, at extreme range, the trajectory should be quite steep, because you have to aim high to lob a shell far - so that gravity can pull it down on your target. Flat trajectories would hold at short range where gravity doesn't have much time to act over the flight path. It seems that you get more skips with a stone when you aim relatively close.
