It does not hurt to call before you start. Let the sheriff (I believe you are outside city jurisdiction) know that you have a small range. Invite them to send someone out to inspect it. Helps if you have a buddy on the force. Ask if they want you to notify them when you are shooting. Most of the time they will say no, do not call.
It is all about building relationships, networking.
I imagine if you live in an area where people do not shoot much that might be a good idea. Where I live there are often people shooting. This time of year most nice days I will hear shooting.
TroyCowan is still active on the boards. What happened? How'd the sitch with the neighbors turn out?
Your a funny guy
OF COURSE if there is a huge mound of dirt there isnt a problem, but that isnt the case here as far as I understand it. The neighbor can SEE him. over his backstop.
My ONLY issue with this case is the insufficient backstop.
Again, if he can take a picture of him with his camera, than he can be shot.
My issue, is with the backstop.
So got a new glock 23 yesterday, and took it out back today to do some shooting, to clarify i have 1 acre in the backyard and a 6ft hill used as a backstop, with the bottom being dug out and reinforced with steel plates in the dirt as well. there is a horse farm about 2 acres behind my property,( no horses were outside all in the barn and way out of my distance for shooting). and about 10 after I started I noticed the neighbor was out and taking pictures of my yard and me shooting. I didnt think much of it until the sheriff dept. banged on my door. I answered politely and was greeted by a captain of the sheriffs dept. who informed me Im not aloud to shoot on my property and that if i did i would be fined, I then asked if he would like to go out on my property and see my range, he informed me he didnt need to see it because the neighbors had already told him about my set up. He was very rude and when i enformed him that Im a military police officer and that I know firearms safety, he laughed and said so your one of those guys, told me if I shoot again the DNR would be called and I would receive a hefty fine and got in his car and left, sad part is the neighbors have had an electric fence on my property line for about 2 years that hangs over on my side and I have not once asked them to fix it. ( I cant let my 2 yr old play in the yard because of it). Some people just dont get it.
I could be wrong about this but if you let your neighbor leave his fence on your property for something like 7 years, he can claim that part of his property as his. I read this somewhere a long time ago with I was dealing with a fence issue. Look up the law.

I would try sending the OP a PM to find out. Then start a new thread so we don't have to re-read the original.
