Shooting range

A shooting range or firing range is a specialized facility designed for archery or firearms practice. Each facility is typically overseen by one or more supervisory personnel, called variously a range master or "Range Safety Officer" (RSO) in the United States or a range conducting officer (RCO) in the UK. These supervisory personnel are responsible for ensuring that all weapon safety rules are followed at all times. In some countries (for example in Finland) it is however common to have shooting ranges without supervision. These ranges are usually situated in distant places in forests and people can use them on their own without any supervision.

Shooting ranges can be indoor or outdoor and possibly restricted to certain types of arms, e.g. bows, handguns or rifles, or they can specialize in certain shooting sports such Skeet shooting or 10 m Air Pistol/ Rifle.
