Want to build a pistol range close to the house but the ground that is in the safe directions is sloping downhill. My question is does it matter if myself and target are on the same downhill plane? Or should it all be level. Also what are you using to build a backstop?
 
I'm with the heavy machinery to flatten out a path with a large burm at the end.

Only think I would add would be a few truck loads of sand on the side of the burm that is getting shot at - sand will soak up a lot of energy with no splatter or chance of a ricochet.

For liability issues or rather to prevent one, I would line the top of the burm with plywood slanted at 45 degrees leaning toward the shooter so you can prove none of your rounds have left your property.
