Layout of a Range

Ranges are designed and in some cases legally approved for the discharge of certain types of firearms, shooting activities and calibers of ammunition. A typical rifle or pistol range layout will consist of a cease-fire line, firing point, firing line and down range area.

Before using the range, learn the range layout and range rules.
