It's a bit hard on anybody's balls if they get tangled up while trying to climb over the stuff........  ;)   ;D

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

We have shots fired all the time in every hunting season. But the first time a pellet or any round hits my house , its on.

Distance is my backyard, which for right now is unfenced. So no barrier of any kind exists between the back of the townhouses and my house. It's about 25-30 yds.

I hate to break it to you, but without a fence, your neighborhood and the Townhomes ARE the same neighborhood. Isn't there an old saying about good fences make good neighbors?

I now have an 8' block wall that separates me from the townhouses behind me. Went through hell to get an exception on the covenance, but made it happen. Back porch light is on a motion sensor, and I have tall junipers that line the fence on 2 sides. (1st purpose is a wind break) But I wouldn't want to try to crawl through them as tore up as I got planting them. Last but not least From the back of the yard I have 3/4 crushed gravel for 15' as an RV pad. (Try walking quietly on that!) So I feel like my backyard security is pretty good at this point. Still looking at any vulnerabilities, but I don't want to bunker myself in either. So everything is a trade off.
I am a member of my nation's chosen soldiery.
God grant that I may not be found wanting,
that I will not fail this sacred trust.
