Target practice and getting ready for hunting season by “really good people”. The Villages built around their homes. Don’t worry about a thing….. it’s not like Chicago , New York, or large northern cities. Completely 100% acceptable and different. No one will get injured and the shooting noise has been here long before we arrived.

They have a private firing range there, word has it that the property owners are the motorcycle club called the Kingsman. Happens quite frequently and yes, you will hear automatic weapons at times in the past. This is just east of Lake Deaton Plaza off RT44.
Yikes!

I don't hear any shooting noise in Mallory Square.

Any clue?
Sorry - can’t help as I not heard anything - am traveling in Europe this month. Thanks for asking anyway.

Municode Library I think this is worth taking a read.

That area is not in Wildwood

Gun range on private property, perfectly legal. No reason to call the law. The 2nd amendment is still valid , for now.

Check out the Sharon MORSE Preserve and see the damage to the vast grass area done by, I assume, feral hogs. They have torn the grass to pieces. Looks like a plow went through in some areas.

Check the local restaurants for Wild Boar on the menu.

There are a number of privately owned gun ranges in that area.

Ask goldwingnut to get a drone video of the area
