Surrounding

The tuscany range lies in the lush hills of Livorno. We have been shooting here fort he past 4 years now. A vast area, with around 30 steel targets awaits you. We can operate at 2 different zones on this range. A variety of barricades and obstacles can be used for practicing PRS skills. Cars have to be parkes at the central parking lot, after which Landrover 4×4’s with trailer wagon will drop the shooters off. Travel light!

Several square tents are present at the range to provide suncover. When we shoot here in the summer, please bring your own suncover, as the italian sun can be very brutal!
