Anybody have any details?

Are you talking about the one in Sturbridge,MA or Hamilton,MA? I haven't rec'd any email.
The one in Sturbridge

It does sound like a safety lesson can be learned here... If so, please share if you can.if it's an internal issue, don't talk about it in the open. Unless, and until the facts are known, and a general safety lesson can be learned.
Just my .02
They are so strict at Hamilton , you coudl fart and be called for a safety violation.
ggboy
did someone pull out a carry piece and start banging away?
That explains the non email. I was thinking Hamilton, Ma.
Thanks for the heads up. I showed this to my wife and she was like "WTF, that berm is yuge!"
A projectile did get over the berm. There were no injuries and the club is not going to wait for one to make some changes. The pistol range is still closed while improvements are made (remove rocks, raise berm, change angles of reflector steel, etc.)
I think the better corrective action is throwing out retards. The height of the berm is not going to fix stupid.
I was a member of Putnam in CT when the POLICE had the range to themselves for the day, lobbed a pistol round over the 25-30ft hill the 100yd range is cut into, hit a person at the fair 800 yardsa way in the gut, and the cops tried to let the victim sue the range for negligence.
It's not my fault I can't keep my rounds on the range, it must be someone else's.
Rocks do not belong in the berm.
Ricochet risk, I'm guessing. For larger rocks, it seems like a legitimate concern.?????
