Question Target Shooting

Where is it legal to target shoot in PA? There are woods directly behind my house that is frequented by hunters. I do not hunt, but enjoy target shooting. We have walked back and target shot on several occasions. We are quite a distance from any homes and there are no residences in the direction we shoot. Is this legal, or do we need to go to a gun range? One time we were questioned by a township police officer and he stated we were fine because we had a proper backstop. We shoot in a clear area that is against a steep hill. The land is not posted, and I do not want to do anything illegal. During hunting season, we often hear the rifle shots from our home.
Thank you
