My interpretation is if no equipment, ie Targets, Shooting benches etc, are permanent, meaning removed completely at end of shooting/use then it is not a Range but a paddock or whatever it's primary use is. So a few mates set up a target in the back paddock, sight in rifles or whatever and then remove everything it is a paddock not a range.
