target range

Where marksmen train

A target range is a facility designed for practicing shooting, whether with firearms, archery equipment, or other projectile weapons.

The term combines the target (what you aim at) with the range (the measured distance and designated area for shooting).

Indoor ranges typically accommodate handguns and small arms, while outdoor ranges may include longer distances for rifles.
