shooting range
Firearm training facility
A shooting range is a facility designed for practicing with firearms or archery.
Indoor ranges typically have lanes, targets, and backstops for handguns and rifles.
Outdoor ranges may include areas for longer-distance shooting, skeet, or tactical training.
We spent Saturday afternoon at the shooting range.
Also called a firing range or gun range.
