ksubuck,
As a board member of a gun club, I have dealt with range backstops. Your photo shows some really flat country; here in PA we are blessed with hills and mountains that are great backstops.
What calibers do you plan to use on your range and what distances will you be firing? The NRA has a book detailing range plans and backstops. You may be wise to check with your local planning board or zoning board to see it they have requirements for range backstops. Some ranges have a baffle over the firing line, sort of like a short roof facing down range, which prevents shots above the backstop.
One more thing, your neighbor's houses may be a mile or two away, but how close would their farm machinery be or livestock to your property line? Hope this helps.
Adam
