Back in the fifties when I was learning to fly Tiger Moths and old ex fighter pilot gave the advice that in the event of engine failure, I should pick three inline fields with low hedges that were aligned more or less into wind and try for the middle one.
If you screw up and undershoot you get the near one and if you overshoot you get the far one. If you hit the hedge it will probably not kill you.
It worked for me some 20 years later when flying Chipmunks and an engine disintegrated on me.
