I have a range in my back yard. It's setup against a heavily wooded hill, much like Hickok45s, but it only goes out to about 25yards. With that, it's definitely got enough berm up above to stop any rounds from going over.

I have paper target stands made up of two stakes each with chicken wire strung between them. I set them up at varying distances and in about a 30 foot spread.

I used to shoot pistol quite a bit, but I have one anti-gun neighbor down the road that keeps calling the cops. My immediate neighbor is cool about it though and the cops are cool about it. Lately I just shoot 22 rifle back there to save everyone the hassle.

I hope to get a suppressed pistol soon and then I can go back to shooting handgun back there again.
