    your best bet is to phone the non-emergency PD phone and ask.

    Because the police are well versed in firearms laws...
    I am not a lawyer and nothing I say should be construed as legal advice.

    Backyard target shooting is something that is (normally) regulated by your municipality. In our township, the Board of Supervisors approves requests for this type of thing, with input/advice of the Police Chief, who normally visits the property and renders an opinion as to whether or not the site is suitable with regards to backstop and proximity to neighbors (who usually don't care).

    Go to your township municipal building, and ask if there's any permit required, or restrictions.
