The overhead baffles are a safety thing. At Austin Rifle Club we have them on all of our pistol bays and are looking a the same for the rigle ranges. Areas are building up around almost all ofthe ranges and if a single round leaves the range, it can mean a lot od expensive legal action and ultimately being shut down. I'm the Chief Range Safety Officer there, so no one understands that better than I do. We have a required orientation class for all prospective members and also a range qualification where a battery of Range Safety Offiers observe and evaluate gun handling and we still have issues. I can't imagine the liability factor for those public ranges that just sell a membership or a day pass and let anyone walk through the gate. You can't really appreciate the seriousness of it all until you realize that anything that happens is going to land at your front door. About a half mile beyond our high power range, there are houses a highway and a school. Think about that when you go to bed at night.
