But you never want to play the odds when you run a shooting range, because that will catch up to you at some point. I would have very little doubt, based on what I'm seeing from the satellite pictures, that the far side of the lake takes a fair amount of fire, but that section is not part of the park, as the article suggests. The park starts on the lake side of the mountain south of the range, and winds around on the opposite face of the mountain, which should be safe from rifle fire. Anything behind that mountain out to about 2700 yard from the firing line can't take a direct hit without violating laws of physics, or bouncing off something. I would not walk on the face of the mountain directly opposite the shooting range during live fire. On the far side of the mountain, I would have little fear I would get hit by a bullet. But all these problems are solvable. It just might cost a good deal to construct the controls necessary to make the range safe.

I'm suspicious because 'suddenly' there are all these bullet strike problems when none have been reported for about 10 years.
