Bet you wouldn't enjoy it so much if his firing line was 500 ft. away rather than half a mile. Particularly with him firing toward your house. Like I said in a previous post, my nearest neighbor is 264 yards down the road {rangefinder verified} and I seldom shoot anything but rimfires here out of common courtesy and NEVER in their direction.
