If some idiot was holding a gun that was pointing over the treeline, and had a ND, it certainly could happen.
At Angle Tree, there is no overhead steel on the pistol range, only the rifle range. Technically an angled shot is possible in that case.
100 % wrong , I shot there today.
If it was, the round had to have an awful lot of talent to maneuver through all of those trees or make a perfect arc over them before striking the house.
Correct. They have steel eyebrows. One would have to be in front of the line to shoot at an angle to leave the range100 % wrong , I shot there today.
So I spoke to Ted Oven today. (I live 2 miles from both Angle Tree and his shop).
The bullet was clearly fired from the parking lot of a Bass Pro store.

By someone with a Gen 4 Glock that they purchased at Bass Pro!
Sun chronicle supposedly has photos taken by the home owner of the bullet

Does that look like a .45 thou you? Looks too elongated to me. More like a .380 shape wise.
As the homeowner stated in the TV video... "no amount of math is going to convince me it did not come from that club".So I spoke to Ted Oven today. (I live 2 miles from both Angle Tree and his shop).
Ted said he visited with the homeowners (who were very nice he claimed) and saw the screen and window. Interestingly the mirror close by on the inside of the room was untouched. He tried to explain the ballistics to the homeowner, but not sure if it was completely understood on how the angle, drop, and energy calculations work.

Not sure when it happened...but if it happened during the pin shoot couldn't someone have been in the woods nearer to the house that was shot and been using the noise from the gun club to mask the noise from his shooting? Could be no?
Interested to see how this comes out...
So what you're saying is that there was a second shooter from the woody knoll?

From the pictures, the hole in the screen and the hole in the window are at the same height. This means the bullet was traveling horizontally as it passed through both. For the bullet to be fired from a long range it would be dropping at a significant angle and would be evidenced by the holes being offset and elliptical. Also, if you align the holes and peer through them, what do you see?
Perhaps the house is located at the top edge of a very, very high cliff and the shooter was at the bottom. The bullet would have been traveling approximately horizontal at the point it curves over for its return to earth.From the pictures, the hole in the screen and the hole in the window are at the same height.
