Want to keep neighbors happy here. Don't shoot before 10:30am nor after 4:00pm on weekdays. No shooting on weekends. Immediate neighbors have said it's OK for me to shoot, but don't want anyone complaining.
There is really only one correct answer: ask, don’t guess

Wow ... No shooting on weekends? No shooting after 4 on weekdays?....
Glad most of my neighbors are all shooters too. Nothing is set in stone but normally 9 til sunset here. Normally back off during deer firearms season out of respect for anyone who might be hunting close by.

Good morning folks & happy Easter!
Wanted to get some feedback from you guys about this. I’m lucky enough to have enough property & awesome neighbors so I set up a sweet backstop for target shooting. Shooting .22lr almost exclusively since it’s quiet & fun.
My question for y’all is: what time in the morning do you consider an acceptable “start time” for kicking off some target shooting?
To me it seems weekdays allow me to start earlier since home improvement/landscaping crews typically start work around 8 & tend to be louder than I am. On the flip side, on the weekend things are a little quieter around here until about 10a so I typically watch the clock tick until 10a before I start sniping paper targets.
I’m trying to be courteous to my neighbors regardless of legality even though the .22 isn’t even that loud. Does my “timeline” seem like a reasonable approach to you guys? Anyone think I could start earlier or later? Personal experiences & opinions welcome!!
Thanks in advance.
I would go suppressed to avoid all possibility of pissing off an awesome neighbor.
If there is a lot of gunfire, they get used to it pretty quick.
On many, many afternoons and evenings at Berwyn R&GC I would be doing some pistol work on the 50yd line and several deer would walk up from the creek to see what was going on. Even worse is calling a cease fire on the 100yd line due to the deer coming up to graze on the grass.
Agreed.
I have been at 3 rivers and had deer walk under us shooting clays.
Crazy sight to see for the first time.
I’ve seen it at IWLA Damascus before with them wandering near the ranges while shooting is happening. The one that pisses me off the most is the local ground hog that likes to wander out on to the rifle range. I’ve stared at that sucker through a scope several times in the past. Not tempted to get kicked out for taking it out, but of all the places a ground hog could live and be the safest, IWLA is probably it.
I had him literally walk in to my line of fire once to sniff around my target stand and of course had to hold my fire for a couple of minutes till he decided to amble off.
