this sounds very familiar to a story that was on-going when we lived in Hollis NH... the sportsman's club that had been around since 1913 came under attack by a group of new residents/neighbors (many of which were lawyers conveniently enough and seem to have an endless budget) in the 1990's... first they sued for noise, then for environmental pollution, then for permits/exemptions, etc etc... the club fought it in court, endless injunctions against them, blah blah blah... however the club is still still not able to shoot outdoors... a travesty!!
it happens all the time... the city people want to move to the country and then want to impose their city views on the existing residents...
