I would like to add some facts to this thread. The bullet at SRG was not shot over the berm nor did it bounce off any berm. The 75 meter position at the range relies on an earthen berm behind the 100 meter position. All of the shooters bullets were on target and accounted for on paper. Unfortunately, the target frame used was 4 feet in height in stead of the usual 5 foot frame. The bullet passed through the paper target and struck flat ground before impacting the berm at 100 meters. It either struck a flat rock or hard pan dirt and veered up and to the right. The house in question was not over a mile away as reported on TV nor was it 1300 feet away as someone posted here earlier. The bullet traveled approximately 3350 feet and after passing through a screen and a double pane window barely had enough inertia to go 4 feet into the girl's bedroom landing in a pile of dirty clothes. When the police first investigated, since no hole was found in the opposite wall, a bullet was ruled out and the hole was blamed on a golf ball found in the front yard. The house is not in a direct line down range and is not in a new sub division as was also stated here earlier. The house is 15 to 20 years old and the owners were well aware that the club existed when they purchased the home. The mother has been interviewed several times and has no desire to see the club shut down. The club's abbutter, the Hopkinton Country Club, would however like the club closed. The club had received a complaint from the CC every year, usually around Memorial Day weekend, just about the same time that the pool is opened for the season. When the golf course was open to the public as the Saddle Hill Country Club, there were no such complaints. Only since it became the private Hopkinton Country Club, after a multi million dollar renovation, have the problems existed. The club's owner and the reporter from the local newspaper that broke the story have the same last name. Can you say hmmmmm??? Four street lots that the CC started to market last year, also abutting our property, were asking $250,000 each. They have had difficulty selling the lots possibly due to our existence. Can I hear another hmmmmmm???
