So far no letter has arrived, we feel we have our ducks in a row ready for if/when it does.
Yes, noted. Thanks.
Really hoping this does not turn into a legal battle but up for it if required and while I am not aware of what services you may be able to help with I really appreciate your offer as I imply from...
During the process of writing down notes while memory was fresh something else has jumped out, one officer questioned about the "volume" of shooting.
They appear to have been concerned by either (1)...
Multiple farm ponds and a great duck creek through private property are far closer to the house than where we shoot, lots of shooting done in area.
Thanks for sharing your experience, appreciated and enlightening.

If 250mts is used then it is almost 3 times that to the house.
Thanks for your valued opinion, certainly where my thought process is at the moment.
Ooops my last reply was supposed to qoute this
This was my first instinct to want to follow up on, but will the police even be interested in or take seriously a false complaint allegation.
And should that matter be raised with the local area...
Shooter is family member and I have shot at this location with them as well regularly. (would normally have been present but was not on this occasion)
Interested in opinions on this and where/what it will lead to and if some proactive actions should be taken now or wait for letter to arrive and deal with then depending on what letter says.
