I am surprised there are not more accidental shootings at these informal ranges. People go out to what they think are safe areas in partially inhabited subdivisions in the valley and just start shooting with no real knowledge of what is near them. A few years ago some guys were shooting a shotgun not to far from my home and I heard the shot rolling off my metal roof. I should have just shot back with something heavier, but instead confronted them. #8 shot will travel about 600 feet. While not effective in hurting anything, I still should not have to put up with this. I called the cops and they refuse to do anything.
