WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) - An appeals court has ordered a western Wisconsin gun club to shut down its shooting range after neighbors complained about bullets flying onto their properties.
The 3rd District Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the Central St. Croix Rod and Gun Club near Baldwin had one chance to submit a workable safety plan for the club in an agreement with the neighbors, but failed to meet that requirement. The three-judge panel said St. Croix County Judge Eric Lundell erred in failing to issue a permanent injunction banning firearms at the 11-acre shooting range. Six neighbors and a safety group sued the club, a for-profit shooting range, in 2006 contending the range was a nuisance and that bullets and shotgun pellets were landing on their properties. |

well if they couldn't even submit a plan in time... im sure there is more to it than that. i be a plan was submitted, but did not meet the judges strict requirements of being "safe enough" why cant they just raise the berms higher, use sand or soil, etc there is no way bullets should be exiting a range other than ricochets, which do not travel very far to begin with. |

Quoted: why cant they just raise the berms higher, use sand or soil, etc Still wont stop the morons from shooting OVER a berm. We had a "shooting range" here shut down because a couple morons were shooting over the top of the gravel pit hitting a house a half mile away. From the ground where whe shot from the top of the pit was 50-60 feet. No way it was "accidental". |

What I hate are the jerks who move here from out of state and buy a 1/4 acre lot next to or behind a 1000 acre shooting range butted up against a state forest and in a moraine (that has been in existence for 5 million yrs) and then demand
the range be shut down because "bullets" are "almost killing her grand- children"....who visit one weekend a year...
