Advice on setting up a private shooting range

It is 200 (making sure I hit the right number on my keyboard) [two hundred] yards of an inhabited dwelling or feedlot. And it is specific to rifle. A land owner or lease holder may hunt (shoot) within 200 yards of a dwelling or feedlot on his or her own (leased) property.
The 200 yard rule is a regulation established by the Game & Parks under Title 163 of the Nebraska State Administrative Code.
Now, because it is a Game & Parks reg, it may or may not apply to a range.

This one?
"Permission is required to hunt on private land. It is unlawful to hunt with a rifle within 200 yards of an occupied dwelling or feedlot without specific permission for that purpose or within 100 yards using other methods."
(Quote from here: https://outdoornebraska.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Deer-regs-2015.pdf --if anyone has the a link to the actual Game and Park written reg for this, I'd appreciate seeing it.)
Because there is an interesting statement there about 1) without specific permission, and 2) "hunt" instead of "shoot" (because those definitely aren't the same thing, and you could easily prove that).
Personally, I wouldn't think that would have any bearing on range requirements. (NOT a lawyer.) However, since you aren't hunting, hunting regulations wouldn't apply, IMO.
...as an addendum, the snowmobile rule really is ridiculous. :)
SemperFiGuy:
All right................
Looky Here: I just happen to know that you immediately up-above poster guys are entirely and totally capable of revving up your Sno-Cat, accelerating up alongside the Great Bull Elk, leaping up from the Sno-Cat, grabbing the Bull by the horns, wrestling the elk to a soft snow landing, spitting the leather laces from your teeth directly into your hands, trussing up the elk by all four legs, and leaping up to raise your hands high in the air.
All in under 8 seconds.
So why is anyone talking about shooting anythang from the Sno-Cat?????
Instead, We should all be sucking up to jFader, who will soon have his very own private shooting range and will need some shooting buddies who will stand around and admire his shooting.

Maybe. Maybe not. Might as well push it and see.
jFader:
I am going to attempt to be as far away from the neighbors as possible due to the noise. It appears that I have several directions that I can shoot where there isn't a house for a long ways. My lot is a 20+ acre rectangle measuring approx 675' x 1350'.
There is a house on the 20 acres west of me & the owner is retired air force. He indicated that they both have CHPs & enjoy occasional shooting although he mentioned he wasn't a huge fan of rifle hunters who previously hunted the land.
There is also a small house near the road on the 20 acres east of me & one house to the south. I need to clear more before I determine a spot, but I am hoping to shoot in a southeast direction. There is a large area where there isn't a house for several miles.
My initial plan after clearing some space is to rent some equipment & build up a earth berm. (Hopefully add to an existing one)
I envision a carport type of roof over a shooting bench or 2 & being an electrician I will definitely have power & lights out there. Also I'd like to plant a lot of trees surrounding this entire setup.
Hopefully I bought far enough outside of town that I will never live next to a subdivision... we are likely 1-3 years away from building a house on site but a pole barn may be next year's project.
