Sucks that you guys dont get along.
I'd gladly let my neighbors shoot across my property if it meant I had my own shooting range.
Definately a missed opportunity.
Free dogs would be nice as well. I get two Huskies that sneak out every month or so, they're fun. Keep my rabbit population down.

The problem with these kinds of people is that they enjoy the attrition and may even escalate matters creatively (legally). They take pleasure in making your life miserable after they learn you're susceptible to it.
Make sure he's not one of the "good old boys" who has friends with local "law enforcement."
With his behavior, he shouldn't have ready access to firearms. I hope nobody'd chime in with "It's his God - given right to bear arms..."

That's lawful in Michigan only for
self defense, in defense of another person, or if the dog is in the act of attacking livestock, including poultry.
Only LEOs may shoot a dog that is chasing game animals.
There are reward funds established to help bring about prosecution.

Reading the title "Using my horse Pasture as a shooting range" made me think of the line "Oh George ... Not The Livestock!" from the fim Oh Brother Where Art Thou
Seriously.
The city blue book makes it an offense for projectiles (rocks, arrows, bullets) to cross property lines and a worse offense if they cross public thoroughfares.
At the old family property on the mountain I make a point that firing lines for target practice must be away from the road and the bullets must land on family property. When people are heard driving down the country road, ceasefire until they are past and around the bend.
The guy shooting at a target on the fence line with the bullets landing on the neighbor's pasture is incredibly rude in my not so humble opinion. I was taught it is better in life to try to make allies not enemies. This guy is just making his life and others' lives more miserable (and dangerous) by being an irresponsible derriere.
I am just prattling about what's right and wrong. What's legal and illegal are often different from right and wrong.

I suppose I only have one that comes around and allowed to come and go. It must have been brought up around chickens though as he pays them zero attention.
The others become fertilizer as soon as they become a predator. Nothing against them as much as the actions they took.
Shooting some kids dog for not recognizing a property line is pretty crappy in my opinion. If it is being destructive or endangering livestock or people thats one thing but just because it is walking on your dirt is not justifiable. I’ve seen how torn up my kids are over a lost dog. Not worth it just so I can feel like the alpha. The people that the OP are referring to certainly SHOULD be able to respect a property line however.
You are not alone.
That can lead to heavy fines, imprisonment, and a lifetime loss of the right to have access tp firearms, depending upon the state.
The animal need not be owned.

Just curious, does that include if the attacking dog is on your property and attacking your pet(s)?

Local laws dependant.
Fair enough, that was a dick thing to say. I was thinking about my experiences with dogs chasing the livestock and menacing people, but it came out sideways. I don't take much notice of the ones that aren't misbehaving; the OP did sound to me like that was one of the problems.
I should know better than to open my mouth that early in the morning.
You may have kept others on the straight and narrow.
