So I should call the cops when they shoot also? What about the neighbors on the other side shooting yesterday? So it looks like backstop or not there OS no way to legally shoot whenever I want
Good you want to build a backstop.
Don't jump into childish pissing contest and treat the police with over 125% respect would be my first advice.
Talk to your neighbors & work it out. Being cool would be first approach. If that doesn't work, be cool and do what you can within the law and your rights.
Get the law from your state, parish, city and go from there. Don't take anybody's word for it.
Dense woods is not a backstop is correct. If anyone is so sure about it, go in the dense woulds while people are shooting. You might get a different perspective on how well dense woods work as a backstop. I was pinned down in such an area & could not believe the rounds were making it as far in as they did.
I go on the back berm at a 200 yd range and always find handgun bullets that skipped off the ground from the 25-50yrd targets. While not full power still would be considered dangerous.
I shoot air rifle at my house but still maintain some degree of stealth. 1 neighbor shoots with me and 1 does not care. Still leaves 3 or 4 near me that could complain just to cause a problem, even though it should be a total non-issue for them. (Due to distance.)
