Saint Marys county target shooting

[Wyockey]

Does anyone know any specific laws or regulations for St. Mary’s County when it comes to target shooting on private property. I may or may not have a neighbor that complains but I’m unsure of the regulations. I have 5 acres of land and I’m only target shooting with small caliber and doing so safely.

My not a lawyer understanding is no specific laws on private ranges in st marys. I think there is some kind of noise law after 10 or 11 pm. Having said that, backstop, backstop, backstop. I have 3.9 acres and a great natural backstop with room for a 30-yard range, nearest house is 60 yards to the right of the back stop. My family has a 50-acre farm with no natural backstop at all.

I have an area where I used shoot 60 yards on my property but as I learned about bullets, ricochets and the crazy things that can happen I no longer shoot there.
My current backstop is a dirt bank/hillside with tires, trees and wood above and beside the targets. I only shoot rimfire and pistol, no centerfire rifle.
