Search mountains for somewhere to practise shooting (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

rifle range

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

'somewhere to practise shooting' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'search mountains' is the wordplay.
'search' becomes 'rifle' (I've seen this before).
'mountains' becomes 'range' (I've seen this before).
'rifle'+'range'='RIFLE-RANGE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rifle range that I've seen before include "One-cell microorganism" , "army training ground" , "target practice area" , "firearms in practice here" , "butts" .)
