The DNR built these shelters for each Sporting Clays location to attenuate noise from shotgun blasts. However, as can be seen here, the shooter is leaning far outside the walls and the muzzle is positioned beyond the roof overhang, thus rendering these shelters useless for sound reduction. Indeed, they were originally advertised only as weather protection.
