firing ranges
Target practice facilities
Firing ranges are designated areas where people practice shooting firearms.
Indoor ranges typically feature lanes with paper targets; outdoor ranges may include varied terrain and longer distances.
Gun ranges serve military training, law enforcement qualification, and civilian recreation: We spent Saturday morning at the firing range.
The term also applies to the effective distance a weapon can shoot.
