By the way, isn't there any kind of laws restricting him from shooting so
close to an inhabited building?

First of all....if he is shooting on or over your property...you can
have him arrested on a variety of charges.

Now what I would suggest doing...is getting a backhoe and piling up a
birm about 6-8' high next to your shooting bench/shooting line
...between that area and a clear line to his house, simply to block
the audio waves of the gunshots. from reaching his home.

Its surprising how much that will attenuate the gunshots....and make
them less "heart beatingly surprising". And perhaps a freon horn to
be directed towards his property several minutes before starting to
shoot as a prewarning.

You got me thinking here.... What if I were to build myself a small
building, sort of like a large hunting blind, that I could sit in, have a
reloading bench, and have a window I could open to shoot through? Not shoot
through with the barrel out of the window, but from a bench so the majority
of the muzzle blast is inside the building, with sound deadening materials
to not reflect the sound inside and muffle the sound going outside. Sort of
like sitting inside of a large "silencer". So inside my mini building I
have a shooting bench, reloading bench, and I can open the shooting
"window" that has a length of sound deadening tunnel directed toward my
target. The shooting bench would be back far enough from the window to
allow for a chronograph. This could also double as a ground hunting blind
that I can move during season. The tunnel I would shoot through could have
chambers to help deaden the sound, and the opening could extend to block the
sound more on the neighbors side.

Yeoww! My son and I were checking zero at an indoor range last week.
My favorite range isn't open that day, and we were close to this one.
His SCAR 17S was noisy as hell, as was my 450 Marlin. Plugs and
muffs, man. I prefer shooting outside. The berm is a good idea. But
if those assholes are coming on your property and shooting, time for
9-1-1.
