    OP, I think you need to have an attorney look at your situation and give you some advice. I agree with the others, if a bullet crosses that fence line I believe you would have a legal matter for the Sheriff to handle.

    I can't believe your neighbor is willing to risk it? Plus, I would think at the very least a cease and desist letter from the attorney. I am sure a judge would see things differently.

      What’s an attorney going to do? The guy with the rifle range isn’t breaking any laws.

        The OP has been asked quite a few times to provide a reference to his cabin location. He still hasn’t. I’m inclined to believe it would have been provided by now had it been relevant. Since it hasn’t been provided I’m thinking it only makes his argument weaker.

          Looks about like most fence lines at my deer lease. Neighbors put blinds on most all boundaries. I don't particularly like it. But what can you do, build your own next to his and sit and drink coffee together in the morning? I just don't normally hunt close to their blinds. To be honest, neither do the neighbors. At least that I can tell.

            Probably nothing but they are very unethical land owners to say the least ! If they have only owned the property for 2 years, their time will come.

              I did the same thing when I found a deer. It had the backstraps removed then dumped. He acted ****** I called.

                One doesn't need absolute proof. Just watch what people get convicted of these days.

                Just place a trail camera or two facing the plywood down by the targets. Also place cameras where they take pictures when people are shooting. Any judge or jury could see the times and holes (if one crosses the fence).

                For those that think this is ok, which I understand technically it is ok, I'd like to see you sit in a lawn chair 10 yards away from the 1,000 yard target when guys are shooting at it

                  If the guy has half a brain he will make **** sure to be be safe when taking shots and verify Noone downrange
                  I like that idea. Make it tall enough so the shooter can easily see it and put a manikin in it.

                    No, some of us just aren’t as dramatic as you, which is why more context was asked for.

                      First, are game cams going to work taking pics of bullets? If they actually hit the plywood, do you think that will trigger the cams?
                      Second…what has sitting ten yards from the target in a lawn chair have to do with the OPs problem?
                      The OPs problem is what might happen. It is a scenario that MIGHT happen. The landowner has done nothing illegal yet. The op hasn’t said where his cabin is situated, how big the property is, all we know is what he posted. Maybe if that cabin was 10 yards from that target your example would make more sense.

                        I just couldn’t shoot in the direction of where someone could be. I don’t care how high the backstop is.

                          Understandable. Who would? But to be honest, everytime we hunt, at least with firearms, that’s a possibility.

                            My point was very simple. The people saying the gun range is all ok should at least admit the other landowner has a right to use his property without fear also. Why does it matter how many acres he has or where his cabin is located? Is it only wrong if a stray bullet may hit his cabin?

                            The cameras would need to take a picture every 10-30 minutes or so that would show no hole in plywood. When they did show a hole in plywood the other camera would show shooter/s at the other end. You don't need a lawyer and judge sitting with video cameras and finding the bullet to have enough evidence.

                              Sounds like his neighbor would. Knowing a camp is down range increases that possibility by a lot.
