: Hi, Brian-

: I agree, also as a firearms owner. I've lost an immense amount of repect for
: the NRA, which publishes a range manual to determine, among other things,
: safe setback distances for these reanges. Although this range is
: completely out of compliance w/ NRA guidelines, NRA will not help.

Well, really, what can they do? Unless the operators are getting their insurance through the NRA, they have no leverage to force them to change anything. If there is no legal remedy available to you, they couldn't help you that way, either.

: So now
: we have a property, in a watershed area, full of lead, and the nearest
: downstream test well has shown a doubling in lead content since the range
: went in. Still well within limits, but going South fast. Thanks, Mike

That really sucks. It would seem that the best you can hope for is to nail them if/when the lead content gets too high, although by then the damage is done. That might force them to switch to non-lead shot, but it wouldn't help your property situation. From what you've said, it would probably make it even more risky to live there.
