* ''Series/TheNewAvengers'': The episode "Target!" features the agency's shooting gallery being used to assassinate agents.

* ''Film/RoboCop1987'' has a scene where about half the precinct are practicing on the range and all stopping to witness Robocop's ImprobableAimingSkills as he ''shreds the targets'' with his [[CoolGuns Auto 9]].

* ''VideoGame/PoliceQuest II: The Vengeance'' has one where you need hearing protection and use it to adjust your gun's sights.

* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'': The training compound of the Social Welfare Agency has both a target range and Killing House.

* ''Series/{{Hunter}}'': An episode where Hunter and Dee Dee were investigating a serial killer sniping women had them going to an army range, where they naturally encounter both the standard RedHerring suspect, who shoots all targets innocent or guilty [[TriggerHappy with great enthusiasm]], and his older sergeant who's the real killer. At the end Hunter chases the killer onto the range and activates the targets. The killer reacts to the first couple of targets, so when Hunter appears his reactions are lax enough that he gets shot.

* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'': A 'Killing House' is shown on several occasions as the girls are trained for their roles as assassins.

* ''VideoGame/PoliceQuestIITheVengeance'' has one where you need hearing protection and use it to adjust your gun's sights.

* ''Film/RoboCop1987'' had a scene where about half the precinct were practicing on the range and all stopping to witness Robocop's ImprobableAimingSkills as he ''shredded the targets'' with his [[CoolGuns Auto 9]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'''s multiplayer map "The Pit" takes place on one of these.
* VideoGames can have these for practice, like ''VideoGame/JakIIRenegade''.

In the United States the FBI calls their shooting gallery Hogan's Alley. The generic term for a military or law enforcement shooting gallery is kill house.

** Another episode showed the team going through a more advanced simulation where the bad guys are played by PrivateMilitaryContractors and the purpose of the exercise is to prepare normal law enforcement officers for hostile situations that would normally be handled by SWAT-type units. The team fails the exercise but [[spoiler: they are actually there to find out if one of the trainers leaked information to a drug cartel about a police operation]]. When the scenario is later replayed with opponents actually trying to kill the NCIS agents, the team performs flawlessly.

* In ''VideoGame/SiN'', there are four shooting galleries. However, the skeet range uses an inaccurate shotgun, and the ''Hogan's Alley'' style shooting range used a slow-firing weapon when you needed to hit three targets quickly.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': Some games in the series have one, with ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' being the first. The specific kind of target used for the shots varies from game to game: Rupees in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', enemies in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' (only Octoroks in Clock Town, many other enemies in the road to Southern Swamp; as an exception, Koume's on-boat shooting game does use a standard round target), blocks and statues in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames Oracle of Ages]]'', Force Gems in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaFourSwordsAdventures Four Swords Adventures]]'', cardboard enemies in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass Phantom Hourglass]]'', target posts in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks Spirit Tracks]]'', and pumpkins in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]''.

* In one of the ''Anime/{{Patlabor}}'' movies, [[TriggerHappy Otah]] gets chewed out for not only shooting an automated target, but [[CoupDeGrace charging in to smash it up with his baton afterwards]], destroying an expensive piece of equipment.

* ''Film/TheBlackHole''. [[TinCanRobot V.I.N.CENT.]] shows off its superior shooting skills in a competition with [[KillerRobot Captain S.T.A.R]] on a laser shooting range. The latter is such a SoreLoser it [[DefeatEqualsExplosion blows a fuse]], though V.I.N.CENT. 'accidentally' ricocheting a beam into S.T.A.R's chest in payback for cheating can't have helped either. Incidentally the difficulty level of the shooting range doesn't match the ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy of the MechaMooks later on. Maybe S.T.A.R was their only good shot?

* ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. Tuco crawls out of the desert, staggers into a store and after angrily rejecting the revolvers he's offered, assembles a custom model from the stripped parts of other guns. The store owner suggests he test it out the back where he has three targets painted like Native Americans.

The store owner is impressed until Tuco makes a BallisticDiscount.

* ''Film/LethalWeapon''

Later he takes part in a police shooting contest which he normally wins, but "accidentally" shoots a "good guy" target...a police officer.

He borrows one of their revolvers on the pretext of trying it out and "misses" a shot again, but later sneaks out to the range in the night and [[ExactlyWhatIAimedAt digs the bullet out of the wall for evidence]].

* ''Film/TheSoldier''. A ScaryBlackMan rushes through a crowd waving a gun, then turns to aim at the audience—only for the scene to freeze as a red dot appears on his chest.

** ''VideoGame/MarioPartyIslandTour'': The minigame Mild Gunman has all characters play a Western-themed target practice. Each target will appear rapidly in front of the characters, and the letter written on it indicates the button the characters have to press in order to shoot it. The score each character gets will depend on how fast they shoot (from fastest to slowest: 9, 6, 3, 1; whoever presses the wrong button or takes too long to shoot will get 0 points). The target is then moved away and the next one appears. After three targets are hit, the character with the highest score wins.
