Not sure what the laws are for where you live. When I was a teenager I shot a .22 on our property a few times, never had a problem. Looking back on it, we probably didn't have sufficient property for that, but I was shooting downwards out of a treestand; bullets weren't likely to go anywhere but into the ground, and in fact none of them penetrated all the way through my backstop (two paper bags full of newspapers). We also used to hunt in some of the local woods.
Talking to your local police would probably be the best bet, since they would be the ones to respond to any complaints of you shooting. If the NJ State Police are the police in your area, you probably live well outside any city limits, right? Try to talk to one of the supervisors if you can.
