How much sh!t do you put up with to avoid being the asshole of the neighborhood?

You do need to talk to them and give them a chance to make changes that will work for both parties. This is the right way to initially address this situation.
However, keep in mind that these guys built this range where they did knowing that it would be a nuisance. The fact that they did this without informing you first, makes them a bad neighbor. Based on this, be prepared for them to tell you to pound sand. If they do, call the powers that be and inform them that there is an illegal shooting range at said property and that it is a nuisance and a hazard and you want it shut down ASAP.
I dont think kids do the Saturday morning cartoons anymore.
Did you watch that youtube clip he posted?
That god awful fucking racket at 8 in the fucking morning on a Saturday?
Stray bullets more of a solution than a problem at that point. I'd be downrange in a deer suit wearing a Yankee uniform singing slave songs.
Oh, I get it. No way I’d want gunshots next door at any time because of the noise
but I also think about how far a bullet could travel

Such a bummer. Id have a hard time talking to them at this point bc of what dicks they are. I’d also have a hard time coming to an agreeable solution for both parties bc of how they went about it (totally illegally) and bc sadly I’ve found if you give them an inch they will take a mile and next thing you know they’re violating the agreement/back to square one
I justt watched the vid. Thats fugged up. You need to address it pronto. Dont be a chicken with your head cut off. As soon as they see you coming over they are gonna know why. You just gotta say its ridiculous and unfair. They should know better. Yes you understand its their land Waco Texas and they have rights but this is just not the way to do things. It would be better on the other side of their property. Tell them how its affecting you. Don't threaten at this point. Help them see the light. Wear your Trump Tee and bring them an 18 pack.
Get your guns and start firing onto their targets from over on your deck. It's so close to your house you may as well get some taget practice in too, right? What could possibly go wrong?
Or you could move to a new place but not sell and instead burn tires on your lot every day for the next year.
Seriously though, that's a super shitty situation. That video is painful. I can't imagine living next to that. It makes loud parties and leafblowers seem like nothing. What the fuck is wrong with people? It doesn't seem as though they will be reasonable or rational. If they were, they wouldn't have built a firing range in a neighborhood in the first place or be out firing at 8AM. I think you need to go over and have a very calm and polite conversation about it. Bring someone with you as a witness and lay out your grievances and politely ask them to shut it down. Covertly make an audio recording of the conversation (I'd say just straight up video it but that will set the conversation off on the wrong foot right away) so if it goes sideways and/or they threaten you, you can go to the police. Good luck.

I do believe a conversation would be a good start but that said I would most certainly consult a lawyer before I made a move in any direction. For real. Not kidding. This has the potential to be a very serious and difficult situation so need to get your ducks all lined up before you go in even if you have the best intentions.
erBB internet lawyer ~out (I am not a lawyer and you need to take what I say accordingly)
Hope it all works out amiably.

That would be my first step but I think he’s screwed anyway.
You ever go to the speedway bike races at the fair grounds? Early Bruce Penhall, Danny “Berserko”Becker?
I was a regular back then!
My buddy's older brother Kevin Weeda used to race against them.
We made it back to Tustin 17th Street exit from 55 on ramp in 4 minutes in my buddies El Camino 396SS one night. I kid you not. There was no traffic back then and you could fly wide open. Damn I miss those days.
Lawyer is a good idea. And definitely dont audio record someone without their permission on their own property.
Might be a party foul but not illegal in North Carolina.
I didnt know that. I had a friend get into trouble for doing that here in Oregon but im reading now that its one of only a handful of states with these kind of laws.
Hire mercenaries, take them out as they "practice", plant 'backfired' pistols on them, call the cops and tell em you think your neighbor's just killed his father in law, and vice versa, you heard them arguing shortly before but couldn't quote make out what that was all about.
1. I bet he can clearly hear them inside his house with the doors and windows closed today. My guess is, suppressor would help that out. For sure that loud cracking pop would be...suppressed at least a little?
2. These people moved in and the first noticeable thing they did with the property was build a firing range
3. They use it at 8am on Saturday mornings
4. It sounds like a semi-rural part of North Carolina. It sounds like the "police" is really the County Sheriff.
5. I am not sure how much longer until they "get bored" and maybe the use will be more sporadic. Shittier weather as the year winds down will probably help, but the poster in question isn't sitting outside with his coffee when it's 38 degrees and pissing rain
This.
My neigboor (non-speaking terms) built a Lanai on the side of his house, with a large outdoor tv. We could hear the damn thing from inside. This was a few years back. Nowadays, the thing is never used. I think they tired of the noise from the freeway, and the cold shady wind tunnel. This same dude used to pickup his dog's poop and leave it in an open bucket next to the fence also. We share 200 feet of fence. This same farker also built a mini-ramp, again, next to the fence. His kids don't use it, it sits rotting. Don't get me started on the multiple dogs barking every time I step outside...
Never, ever, anything on the side of his house adjacent to a large vacant lot.
Best part was watching big sport events when they were "entertaining". For some reason, my tv would be about 10 seconds ahead of his. SO satisfying for us to be whooping it up before they knew what happened.
