As long as it lands downrange away from shooters/spectators I'm a happy camper.
In theory, I agree with you. in theory, I agreed with the founding fathers...In bot cases, irresponsible A-Holes screw it up. I have learned that a restriction keeps out a few good people, but mostly the riff raff. If you knew half the stuff I have found people doing on the range, you would be aghast. Also the reason to have that range be steel only and use only your own steel. The NRA has data that shows bullet landing at angles of about 10 degrees or less and at reduced velocities, skip off the ground. So that has to be addressed. There is afterall, a road downrange.

That said, very open to suggestions.
