One of the groups trying to stop Snohomish County from building a shooting range near Sultan isn't a gun safety or environmental group; it's a nudist club.

The multi-million dollar gun range would be a mile away from the 72-year-old Lake Bronson Club and its 200 nudist members, who say that's too close to bare, so to speak.

"At times we feel like we're being left out. They don't want to talk to us," said president Earl Calkins.

He said the main concern isn't buckshot in the backside, it's noise. "It would be disruptive to our members and guests to have that constant bombardment of noise. That's not why people come to the club."

The Snohomish County Council voted in October to move forward with the project.
