===Firing point=== The firing point normally is at a defined point on the ground, and on a civilian range will usually be level and flat. Outdoor ranges without a covered firing point are usually grass, often on a slightly raised, flattened mound. Outdoor ranges with a covered firing point are usually concrete or tarmacadam. Outdoor military range firing points are not usually covered and may have other configurations, e.g., sloping, a gravel base or hole in the ground. A "fixed firing point" or echelon<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/NaturalResources/cultural/Pages/CampLogan.aspx |title=Camp Logan National Guard Rifle Range Historic District|website=Illinois.gov}}</ref> rifle range is where the targets are located at the various distances with the marksman or woman shooting from the one firing point. The most advanced rifle range of this design was constructed for the Commonwealth Games New Delhi 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blaserbuds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2715 |title=CWG 2010 New Delhi Fullbore Shooting|website=BlasterBuds}}</ref> The firing point cover can be as simple as a tent, to a frame with only a roof (to keep off rain or sunshine) to a substantial building with appropriate apertures to shoot through.
