You can always call your local Sheriff's department and ask them. My experience is that you don't need ten acres, although I live in the city now, unfortunately. Railroad cross ties also can work as a backstop. I prefer dirt though so there's not as much chance of a ricochet. At my friend's property we shoot into a ditch (a deep one) as the backstop and at my parent's old country house we used an empty pond.
