Scope for target practice? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

range

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scope' is the definition.
(I know that scope can be written as range)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Scope - cowboys' home" , "Old-style cooking stove" , "Place to practise driving" , "Series of connected mountains" , "Series of hills or mountains" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
