300' Buffer Zone? Is this a typo error?

A "round table" meeting was conducted by our County Commissioners on August 10th to discuss the no/controlled shooting zone we have all been working hard to put into place.

KOMO news picked up the story and published a recent article of interest: 

 NEIGHBORS HAVE RAISED BIG CONCERNS   
OVER THE PROPOSED  300' BUFFER ZONE
FOR EXAMPLE:
 A)  300' is not a safe distance, please read.....
Expert hunter Lou Amey's article Where Does My Shot Go? stating
300 YARDS is the distance hunter's consider safe   
 B)  A buffer zone would be a policing nightmare; how do you measure distance looking out over the water from the shoreline? 

 It basically boils down to this....
What is your vision for your neighborhood? 
Do we envision our area an unsafe outdoor firing range resembling a war zone several months out of the year, a garbage dump with empty cartridges left to float onto the beaches, or a viable neighborhood with sound, safe rules put in place for generations to come?

Please call, email or write our esteemed County Commissioners
 and ask them to please rule in favor of 
a no shooting or a controlled shooting zone.  
Our time is running out and our voices must be heard.
