I am well versed on the 500 ft. rule. I have had my siding replaced TWICE due to being hit. Also, a broken window, dishes (kitchen cabinets on backside of house which faces the hillside the shots came from). My neighbors on both sides have also been hit. My neighbor’s above ground pool took a couple of shells and two other houses (downhill) rec’d water damage. First time (12 yrs ago) no arrests. Second time (8 or 9 yrs ago) three ‘hunters’ got nabbed... on a residential property (no permission given). Our insurer went after their insurers. This all happened in a suburban neigborhood. My 2 claims were over $16,000 alone. My neighbor’s and I have flood lights back there now (some have said runway lights) to make the houses visible at all times (these incidents happened at dawn). We are incredibly lucky that no one has been shot.
I woulda replaced the siding with brick after the first incident.
