NORTH WOODSTOCK – A local couple and 29 of their neighbors want a judge to order the closure of the Gold Bess Shooting Club and award them damages, saying the outdoor range is a public and private nuisance. According to the lawsuit, in May 2016, Woodstock Sand and Gravel (WSG) purchased 34 acres on Daniel Webster Highway and used it exclusively to stockpile gravel. On July 13, 2020, the Shooting Club registered with the New Hampshire Secretary of State and “at or around the same time, upon information and belief, the club leased the defendant property from WSG,” the lawsuit said. The Shooting Club asked that the injunction be denied. Gold Bess Shooting Club is “within an industrial/commercial area characterized by noises from the same site sand-and-gravel quarrying operations and nearby operations, including an auto racetrack, a frequent-trip tourist railroad, permitted snowmobile use of the railroad tracks in winter and an interstate highway." A Jan. 6 hearing on the lawsuit was continued until March 1.
