So, what does the sheriff say? If it's legal what can he do? Try
this: go to your land and shoot 2 or 3 times more often than usual.
The sheriff will get tired of responding and tell your neighbor to
buzz off.

Our local range just reopened after a 3-4 yr shutdown due to an
alleged lone bullet found in some farmer's barn way downrange that may
or may not have come from the gun range. The range had to shut down
due to a lengthy political fight and major renovations to add shooting
stalls limiting a shooter's barrel elevation. I went out yesterday
and tossed a buncha NATO rounds downrange and renewed my membership.
I'm not real happy with the new facilities, but ya' gotta support a
range that works that hard to stay open here in CA.
