That was tried here at our local gun club, an Izaac Walton club. Guy bought the farm that bordered on the upper and back side of the club. When he got older he started to sell off the farm to be developed first the upper side and they built two houses with in 100 yards of the 200 yard rifle range. The new owners and the farmer tried to get the range shut down but the state and local government said no to their petitions as the club had been grand fathered in. We have a high berm on the upper side with pine trees and a 40 foot high berm for a back stop. I guess what helped our club the most is that the state, county and city police use our club on a regular bassis.
