I will be moving onto some property that my parents own very soon and I would like to be able to shoot there. It is 5.5 acres, and there is one area that would be a good place to shoot. There is a spot where the land slopes down to a dry creek bed (dry right now anyway) and I was thinking of setting up some targets down there and shooting down into the creek area. Two concerns:
1) The property ends right next to this creek (about 20 ft away where the land then slopes back up). I could shoot down and not worry about anything going into the neighbor's area, but it is awfully close and I don't want to upset anyone. I've never seen the neighbor anywhere near the creek, but I don't want to scare/upset anyone.
2) Noise is a concern. I don't want to be a nuisence.
I was thinking that if I just shot my 22 then it would be fine.
Thoughts?
