The board limited the scope of the appeals board review to the access issue, but residents said there are other concerns.

“We live adjacent to this property, and we have nothing against guns,” neighbor Frances Smith told the board.

"We farm there, but if they build a shooting range with berms and some buildings, then that will flood our farm ground, and that is our livelihood,” Smith said.

Another neighbor, Dawn Funderberg, said she is worried about the decrease in the worth of their property.

“I purchased my home for $250,000, and to have this built there will significantly decrease our property values,” she said.

Ken Wilson, who lives a quarter of a mile from the property, told the board the noise from events at the club would disrupt everyday life for neighbors.

“There is a private shooting range about two miles away, and I have been woken up at 8 a.m. from that noise,” he said. “This is much closer, and they have events almost every weekend for about eight months out of the year.
