Well,I'll toss my hat in.
1.Your map shows the area as a conservation area.
Don't know about NH,but here generally means no firearms.
2.At least a half a dozen folks have
suggested to find out the property
owner.Have you?
This whole thing is a waste of time
until YOU FIND OUT WHO OWNS
THE PROPERTY!

Hang in there. You're taking the right steps. Make sure target practice is legal in the conservation area and get it in writing. After that take written proof that the target practice is legal there, along with your USGS map showing your shooting area to the local Sheriff's Dept. Tell them your plans and inform them that your neighbor has complained to give them a heads up. Then I'd wait a week or two for things to cool off. You mentioned she has kids. Perhaps this will be an opportunity. After things cool off she might even be interested in going out there with you and letting you teach the kids how to shoot a BB or pellet gun. You're a Boy Scout, so if she has a son a good approach might be talking to her about Cub Scouts. Now that she's out in the country it might appeal to her that the scouts could provide the boy with constructive and supervised activities out in nature; fishing, nature walks, BB guns, camping, etc. Keep a cool head and maybe she'll warm up.
 
Contact your local Fish & game CO. he can tell you show him your map etc. Or submit it to the F&G legal office in writing they will have to answer correctly in writing.

For you others NH lands including conservation trusts etc are MULTI USE and include hunting and shooting rights where SAFE!!
