train at the shooting range


Explanation:
Polígono de tiro
A shooting range, firing range or gun range is a specialized facility designed for firearms qualifications, training or practice. Some shooting ranges are operated by military or law enforcement agencies, though the majority of ranges are privately owned and cater to recreational shooters. Wikipedia

Entrenar en el campo de tiro


Explanation:
Poligono at least in Spain refers to industrial and business parks. In this case I would use “entrenar en el campo de tiro”.
