Looks like we have another competition shooting venue in NC under fire from neighbors complaining about the noise.
From Carolina Shooters Club:
Announcement:
My friends at the Flat Rock Shooting Range was recently issued a cease and desist order due to holding 3 Gun competitions on their 100 + acre property in Western NC! A few property owners from the Oleta Falls sub-division, living about a quarter + mile away complained about the noise!!!
The Flat Rock Shooting Range passed a recent and very detailed inspection of the property to insure that the location, backstops and distances were within zoning policies for Henderson County NC.
The next hearing in Henderson County will be around August 27, 2014 to discuss the noise factor!
They could use our support, especially at the next hearing if you, or anyone else is available to attend, showing their support for this range.
Please contact Sam Seelig at 828-243-1686 or Jody Beal at 828-329-9900 for more information or support efforts! They are represented by Attorney Walter C. Carpenter (828) 692-1919
They also have a petition available for residents of Henderson County, NC to sign if you aren’t available to attend!
Please pass this information around and share it with others!
As we all know, attacks upon our hunting and shooting heritage, and our 2nd amendment rights starts small and will continue to grow if we fail to take a stand!
Thank you for your time and your support for this great group of people and this gun range!
God Bless and Stay Safe Everyone,

I did a little more digging, and it looks like Dan from TAP3X has an internet radio show and one of his first guests will be the folks from the Flat Rock Shooting Range to talk about the current situation. Show starts at the 3:00 mark below, and the interview with the Flat Rock Range folks starts about 21:30.

Dang, you’re good. The google-fu is strong with this one!
Just glad to help out.
Let me know if you want more info on a shot timer that works at indoor square ranges even if others are shooting around you.
Yep.
