plinking on private property
I reside in Tobyhanna (Coolbaugh township) and live on about 1 acre of land. If I construct a decent backstop, does anybody know if i can plink on my property? I'm shooting a .22 Mossberg 702 plinkster that I got second handed from a family friend. Any leads would be great!

Your townships codes and ordinances: http://www.coolbaughtwp.org/page72.php
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Some ordinances may include NOISE restrictions too. Even if there is no Firearms clause, you may invite trouble if the NOISE ENFORCMENT OFFICER stops by.
Also, plinking may sound better to you, but to them it is still "FIREARMS DISCHARGING". (or shooting)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mK2JYfZAmA When will America become America?

Not saying it cannot be done safely on one acre, but you're pushing it a bit IMO.
What's the neighbor situation?FUCK BIDEN

I say it all depends on your neighbors. If they don't mind you shouldn't have an issue.

Re: plinking on private property
If local ordinance allow it, and there is no noise ordinance you are probably in good shape to do so..
That said, whats behind the backstop you will be shooting at? If there is another house there I would not chance it...
