firing range
Target practice venue
A firing range is a facility designed for practicing shooting—with firearms, archery, or other projectile weapons.
Indoor ranges typically accommodate handguns and small-caliber rifles; outdoor ranges handle larger weapons and longer distances.
Military firing ranges may include areas for artillery and explosives.
We spent the afternoon at the firing range.
Also called a shooting range.
