If laying low has not worked, you may want to ask the coordinator of the neighborhood meeting, if you can come to the meeting to answer any questions they may have.
You may be walking into a hornets nest, but you may disarm 90% of the situation. For giggles you may ask if you can play a copy of the 911 recording from a month or two back :)

She will turn the heat up even more as you keep intentionally trying to antagonize her. I don't have a dog in this fight, so all your toadies can save their typing rebuttals for someone who cares. Just trying to give you a heads up and make a friendly suggestion if you like shooting there. "In your face" tactics usually result in unfavorable results. I have been an avid shooter and hunter all my life and I feel empathy for the lady. I can only imagine what a non-shooter would think.
You may want to think of ways to make the neighbors less interested in you. If you are not interesting, and under their radar the lady will not look as justified. If you antagonize she will eventually will over the fence sitters and that could cause issues by alienating you. Lay low, use long term tactics and win by longevity not by immediate force.

Just a thought:Pinkycatcher wrote:You do have a proper backstop don't you? As long as the lead doesn't get through all they can do is complain, nothing should come of it, and I'm going to have to come out there some time soon, I wanna get in on this!
The USACE and EPA may argue with you on this one. If it rains and the lead particles (it does not take much lead is rated in PPB Parts Per Billion) leach into a waterway (creak, stream, tributary, lake) you could face some serious clean up costs.
The problem could be solved using a containment berm between your berm and any waterway with a geocomposite liner, or bent-o-mat, or other non-permeable liner.
