In the military we had some very old firing ranges where we sttod down in a pit and raised the targets, then flagged the position of the hit. You could hear a loud crack as the bullet passed overhead.

I could tell the difference between a miss and a hit on the target. A hit was a little louder and paper fragments would come down on us.

Indeed, the bullet shock wave or impact noise on paper target is much louder than the diffuse bang 300 yards away.
