As far as I can tell:
- You can't shoot up or over a hill unless you are adjacent
- You can't shoot through a forest or jungle tile, but you can shoot a unit on a forest tile or out of a forest tile
Can get very annoying when you can't tell some tiles are hills until you mouse over.
Edit: Oh I see, why can you shoot 1 but not 3? Weird!

Wow, that's an amazingly well researched post! Thanks 
Hill 3 complies ENE/WSW Axis rule. Still not shootable.
Should have included another post for reference: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=11599031&postcount=25
If the shooter is in a forest, hill 3 is not targetable (don't bother asking why -- some mysteries are not meant to be solved).

Think so, but don't know for sure.
Strikes me, you're just the guy to give it a test!

Yeah, it's true.
Look how many tiles are Blocked by this madness.
It turns +1 range upgrade into +0.1 range upgrade at random terrain.

Agree with the frustration, but not the math (6 of 18 range-3 tiles are targetable, so that makes it a +0.6666, not +0.1).
Probably doesn't make you feel any better, does it?

It's huge anyway. I most cases it means you can't siege a city, only 1 or 2 longbows can attack, instead of 4 or 5.
