Additionally, the indoor 10-meter shooting range is equipped with firing lines for 80 athletes at the same time. The semi-covered 300-meter range also offers comprehensive conditions for high-level competitions, allowing up to 40 athletes to compete simultaneously.

In the field of clay target shooting, five shooting ranges have been constructed, equipped with 75 target-throwing machines for trap shooting. For skeet shooting, five towers have been built, equipped with a total of 10 target-throwing machines.

Regarding the responsibilities of the Shooting Federation, the center determines the coaching staff and national team roster each year. It also approves current and long-term plans, the composition of delegations sent abroad, and reports from delegation leaders.
