I wish you luck finding a safe way to enjoy your space and I will start yelling at houses
If your yard is in a position to be pummeled, you should not "hope" someone will yell fore to avoid injury. Doing that enables you to be a victim. You should be aware of who is on the course and when shots are being fired. Take appropriate action based on what you see.

I never forget when I worked in a steel mill as a teenager I would never walk down along side the 80 inch rolling mill line until the leading edge of the coil was fully engaged in the coiler after going through the 5 stand finishing rollers a quarter mile down the line. That glowing red piece of steel was moving at over 50 mph and if it hit a bump on the line it turned into hot, pink ribbon candy and piled up right where everyone walked. Instant death if you were anywhere near it. Although I never did the walk without my observation and rule, some did, a few got killed. Take care of yourself, no one has your best interests at heart more than you do.
