I think the range club has the lead issues under control. But you can contact them if you want.

The thing that gets me is that for any rounds to even reach the school or the housing neighborhood a person would have to be aiming above the trees. Any shots over the berms but below the tree tops is going to hit trees. With over a mile of dense woods, you can't miss a tree. So IF shots are leaving the range it's from people being VERY stupid. But the RSOs are so on top of people being even slightly stupid that I seriously doubt any round has actually left the range. Any homes that have rounds coming through windows was probably shot by someone a bit closer and not monitored.
My question is: Exactly where does one go to school to become a 'shooting range expert'.

To obtain the max range on most small arms, the barrel has to be tilted up at about 30 degrees. This would enable the bullet to clear the berm, leave the range and stay above the trees until it came back down.The thing that gets me is that for any rounds to even reach the school or the housing neighborhood a person would have to be aiming above the trees.

The only ways to prevent this are training/supervision or use an obstacle like a concrete barrier downrange.

Maybe the problem stems more from uncontrolled development than anti-gun prosecutors? I know that many areas that I used to shoot now have prohibitions against discharging firearms because of encroaching development.
That's the price we pay when cities and counties refuse to stand up to developers!
Here are the lawsuit details. <broken link removed> The complaint has a long list of alleged violations of Kitsap ordinances. The Allison complaint paints a rather bleak picture of living near the range. <broken link removed> I do not know how accurate the Allison complaint is, but the range has to be good neighbors with the people nearby.

There are several metal targets that I routinely punch holes in with my 50 cal or whack with smaller rifles. Clay pigeons, metal poppers, pumpkins and water jugs are also shot at on the KRRC range.Every range that I've been to, only allows you to shoot paper. Interesting that they allow tannerite on the range.
