Wallingford Rod and Gun Club - Unidentified Range

We have identified one range in the vicinity of the Wallingford Rod and Gun Club and the Blue Trail Range that is not listed as an operational recreational range In this area. The property is reportedly used by the Wallingford Rod and Gun Club; however, there is currently no information on the type of weapons activities that occur at this site. For purposes of this report, we have assumed that rifles and pistols are fired here based on the State Police reports that have identified "

,

this range as a possible source for ~ome of the errant rounds in the complaint area. Survey points are map-spotted based on aerial photographs. The range has no apparent baffling or formal firing lanes. All Surface Danger Zones in their pure form conflict with the complaint area in the vicinity of Tri Mountain Road with the exception of .22 long Rifle. Without any apparent weapons controls (baffles) it can be assumed that the

ent~re Surface Danger Zone can be an increased risk

area for citizens of Durham. Ricochet zones and possible trajectories were evaluated. More information will have to be gathered to determine if this range is actually a potential source of the errant rounds in the complaint area.
