It is dragging out but I suspect there will be some curtailment of their activities............

That was our biggest concern, we would start up and then a petition would shut us down.

We chose our site very carefully, contacted the surrounding houses, if ANY complained or expressed negative views we moved on. We were open and honest, provided all data about noise levels, road usage etc. We came to an agrement about rimfire only as a offer of "good-will"and have agree'd to all thier demands.

The main difference we found is that we are building where they live, not them buying where we play.
