shooting lanes

Clear attack routes

Shooting lanes are clear paths or corridors that allow an unobstructed shot at a target.

In hunting, especially from a tree stand or blind, hunters clear brush to create shooting lanes for deer or other game.

In basketball, a shooting lane is the open space between a player and the basket: He drove through the shooting lane for an easy layup.

The term appears in military and tactical contexts for lines of fire.
