gun range
Target practice venue
A gun range is a facility designed for practicing shooting—either indoors or outdoors, with designated lanes, targets, and safety barriers.
Ranges may be for rifles, pistols, or both.
Some are commercial operations; others belong to clubs or law enforcement.
Let's meet at the gun range Saturday morning.
