That really depends on how good you get along with your neighbours. If you have a good relationship with them then you shouldn't have a problem as shooting your bow is a very quiet activity. I have neighbours with kids that make a ton of noise and one that has a dog that barks all night long. Some of our neighbours have called in the dog a few times.

Other than that just make sure you have a good backstop and that you're not shooting dangerously towards your neighbours kids

Like everyone else has already said, any practice is good practice. If you're shooting everyday, even at 15 yards, you'll build good muscle memory and form. Just take your target out to the woods every now and then and stretch out your distance.
