It is illegal to discharge a firearm, longbow or crossbow within 500 feet (for a firearm), 250 feet (for a crossbow) or 150 feet (for a longbow) of a dwelling, farm building or structure in occupation or use unless you own it, lease it, are an immediate member of the family, an employee, or have the owner's consent.
The closest home to me is owned by my Sister and even she is about 400' away. I'm more than 500' from the roadway as well. The remaining homes are roughly 800' and beyond. So, technically I could fire 308 in my backyard, but given the state of things I limit myself to .22 subsonic because I do have neighbors that might be anti-gun who might complain but it is more about being a considerate neighbor. I can just quad to my Dad's place across the street to shoot the bigger stuff.

Shooting in your own backyard.
*sigh*
Just a dream for us.
