That's bad, perhaps real bad! I hope they don't have a lot of permanent equipment or facility damage.

Looks like a very nice facility. Hope they had paid up flood insurance. I wonder how many strays have zoomed over some vehicles?

ZERO!

It would be virtually impossible for that to happen unless someone was just being reckless and fired into the air! They would get a one way ticket out if that were to happen! This club has been there longer than that highway and now there are soccer and baseball fields directly behind it. They have gone out of the way to maintain safety!
Guns are like parachutes, if your ever in a situation that you need one and you dont have one, you'll probably never need one again.

The berms and backstops are much higher than they appear in the video. Unless you are shooting from a boat.

Some of it has had to be demo'd and the club is in discussions about how to proceed rebuilding. I haven't been there since the flooding, but I understand that the clubhouse was fairly damaged, along with some storage and indoor airgun facilities. The recently built restrooms fared better, from what I've heard.

All shooting areas are open except the air range. The club house has extensive damage. All bays, etc are open. Electric gates are not working, but will be restored eventually.
