Shooting range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: ,
An outdoor shooting range with a sheltered shooting stand and several other unsheltered stands. The targets are placed at the foot of the mountain, which the photo is taken from. This particular range is in use by both civilians and by the
Swedish Army Norrbotten Regiment.
A shooting range or firing range is a specialized facility designed for
firearms practice. Each facility is typically overseen by one or more supervisory personnel, called variously a range master or "RSO ? Range Safety Officer" in the United States or a range conducting officer or "RCO" in the UK. These supervisory personnel are responsible for ensuring that all
gun safety rules are followed at all times.
Shooting ranges can be indoor or outdoor and possibly restricted to certain types of firearms, e.g. handguns only or rifles, or they can specialize in certain shooting sports such
Skeet shooting or
10 m Air Pistol/
Rifle.

Specific locales
This article discusses Shooting Ranges in a general sense. For more specific discussion of shooting ranges in specific locales, see:
Shooting ranges in Switzerland
Shooting ranges in the United Kingdom

Likewise, in countries with gun laws heavily restricting the ownership and use of actual firearms,
Airsoft guns often are used instead for "shooting range" practice. By their nature, "shooting ranges" for Airsoft competitions may be located nearly everywhere, even in-doors, with no significant restrictions other than the wearing of protective face masks. This article, and the articles for specific locales, do not address "shooting ranges" intended for Airsoft guns.
Type
In urban areas, most shooting ranges will be at indoor facilities. Similarly, in less-populated areas, shooting ranges are often at outdoor facilities.
Indoor
Indoor pistol shooting range.
Stationary target practice
Indoor ranges usually have a back wall with a sloped earthen berm or bank, with reinforced baffles additionally situated along the roof and side walls. Ranges with proper ventilation pull smoke and lead particles away from the shooting line and discharge them from the building to reduce potential When ranges lack proper ventilation, employees and users are exposed to lead dust from bullets or cartridge primers. It can be inhaled or can settle on skin or clothing.
