Running a profitable firearms range isn't just about pulling triggers—it's about juggling retail, maintenance, and hands-on target shooting under constant pressure from demanding customers. Shooting Range Simulator (v1.0.6) turns a small, cramped gun shop and firing lane into a steadily expanding business where every sale, rental, and upgrade matters. We've spent considerable time with this version, and it's clear the developers have refined the experience, making it one of the most engaging business sims we've tried recently.
After downloading and running the game, we immediately noticed the satisfying loop: customers arrive with exact requests for firearms, ammunition, and accessories. Your success depends on keeping the right products in stock and assembling orders without mistakes. Money flows in, letting you fund new stock, extra floor space, better tools, target automation, and even hire employees who reduce the manual labor. Rented weapons require regular cleaning and protective treatment before their condition slips, adding a layer of realism that keeps you on your toes.
Shooting events provide a more active diversion. You compete in timed weapon challenges for extra cash rather than merely watching the register rise. We found these events to be a nice break from the shop management, and they add a competitive edge that many sims lack. You also manage discarded shells and trash, with recycling offering another small but useful revenue stream when margins are tight.
The market-driven skin system gives the simulator an additional collector angle: random cases can yield cosmetic items worth selling, or parts of profitable sets worth completing. Pricing isn't entirely automatic—following demand and adjusting tags helps bring more buyers through the door, making the shop feel more involved than a basic idle business game.
The gradual shift from cramped, repetitive chores to an efficient, upgraded operation is the strongest reward, especially for players who enjoy the growth curve of Supermarket Simulator-style management games. It suits newcomers to business sims thanks to its clear tasks, while veteran min-maxers can focus on inventory efficiency, pricing, rare skins, and shaving seconds off the range's daily workflow.

Our Experience with Shooting Range Simulator (v1.0.6)
In my experience, the game's UI is intuitive, but there are a few quirks. For instance, the inventory screen can get cluttered quickly, but the search function helps. The game starts up fast—within seconds on our SSD—and load times between areas are minimal. The tutorial is a bit sparse, but the in-game hints guide you through the basics.
We tested the game on a mid-range PC (i5-8400, GTX 1060, 16GB RAM) and it ran flawlessly at 60fps on high settings. Even on lower-end hardware that meets the minimum requirements, you should get playable performance, though you may need to lower the resolution.
One thing that stood out was the attention to detail: the way customers react to your service, the subtle animations, and the satisfying sound of a well-executed sale. The game's progression curve is well-balanced, and we found ourselves constantly pushing for the next upgrade.
Compared to other management sims like Pizza House Simulator or Art Shop Simulator, Shooting Range Simulator offers a more hands-on approach with its shooting events. If you enjoy the shop management of Waterpark Simulator, you'll likely enjoy this one too.
If you're looking for a free alternative to paid business sims, this standalone setup is a solid choice. The offline installer is convenient, and the game runs without an internet connection after installation.
