I've been to the range periodically over the years, and the folks there don't deserve what's happening to them. From a safety standpoint, one of the things that I always liked about Blue Trail was their commitment to making a potentially hazardous activity as safe as possible. Between the rules about shooting only from the bench, the screens to prevent people from shooting while standing, the ever-present range officers and the strict adherence to safety rules, I've always felt secure shooting there. In addition, the original backstop for the 100 yard range was more than adequate to keep stray shots from leaving the property. It's unfortunate that one blatantly greedy developer has managed to cause such significant problems on what amounts to the last public outdoor shooting range in Connecticut. Why more people aren't calling him out on his ludicrous claims is beyond me. I wanted to thank you for your continued coverage of the issues at Blue Trail.
