Really strange that those quoted are likely American citizens. Not sure of the safety issues, but I'm pretty sure stories like this show why we need guns and shooting as part of the PE/Health/Science curriculum in American schools.

It's not like those golf balls don't take out windows...
That said - it is the doom of ranges. Unless the range has enough acreage to catch any stray bullets - some idiot will either shoot over or bounce over the berm occasionally. Baffles can help - but still I bet an idiot can bounce one occasionally. If a range had the acreage - they would be taxed out of existence if they were near civilization. Hate saying it - but indoors/underground does hold some attraction. |

About 25yrs ago my in laws house was hit when a LEO MP5 climbed a little too much. Two other houses in the neighborhood were hit as well. Insurance took care of the damage and full auto is no longer allowed at the club but there were no other problems.
However, about 5 years ago someone who had moved in just a couple years prior claimed their house was hit and had the bullet to prove it. He tried to have the club (which has been there for over 70yrs, long before any houses were built nearby) closed down. His downfall however when he presented the offending projectile it had no rifling markings on it and had obviously never been fired. He moved about a year later. I'm not saying that unsafe behavior is okay, but I would like to know who was in the area first on this one as well. |

FUUUUCK......
I've attended the NRA Range Management Seminar. Those folks, if those pic's are from there...have spent a METRIC SHIT TON of money on that range. Those overhead "no blue sky" baffles aren't cheap and make it very, very difficult to get rounds off the range unless something really stupid happens. One round....MAYBE....multiples.....not very damn likely. ETA: apparently those are NOT pics of the range in question. |

Rounds were going off rnge at my club for years.
Roofer who was a club member roofed a few of those houses and pulled bullets out of the roof. Then one day a round went through a wall across a kitche and into the opposite wall while people were in the kitchen. Club instituted a range safety education program that had to be attended before a member could shoot and quickly qualified NRA certified RSO for range duty, all while installing baffles to fix the problem. The berms were made to be 30 feet high instead of the 15 feet. At that point, when people were working on the top of the new 30 foot berms did the club realize how bad of a problem it was due to all the bullets in the trees above the 15 foot berm

Plus, bullet strikes off the backstop have to be handled to prevent richochets from bullets in front of the target. Silhouette rails are a problem with no solution except very high backstops or bullet baffles behind the stands. Our club built a mountain behind our 600 yard range. The top is only about 1 degree higher from the benches at considerable cost. No matter what infrastructure is built, your club will also have idiots with poor judgement. Now prospective members are screened and must attend an 8 hour class before any possibility of membership. Demonstrated ability is required to shoot past 200 yards now. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile The technical term is "coming to the nuisance." And the traditional rule is that if you come to the nuisance (rather than it coming to you), then you have no right to bitch. Of course, when you involve guns and children playing in yards and cute puppy dogs and soccer moms, and nebulous allegations of stray bullets, you can often find a judge willing to ignore hundreds of years of common law. |

At my club, a mylar balloon lost from a birthday party somewhere drifted down and settled high up in a tree. It got tangled there and just sat for a few weeks. One day, it was suddenly full of bullet holes. Our head safety officer reamed the entire club out for that one. That's the fucking stupidest thing I've ever seen happen at our club, which is normally extremely safe and responsible. |

The funniest part, from what I can glean from the poorly-written article, is that now the town has acquired 31 acres of open land adjacent to the now-closed gun club where folks can legally go shooting in the open, just, as the article puts it, "nailing a Coke can to a tree and shooting it." Yeah, good job getting that dangerous range with baffles and backstops shut down. I'm sure folks who shot there will just stop shooting or drive far away, instead of just going next door to some empty land where they can blast away for free. |
