Employees found the man, who has not been identified, dead of a single gunshot wound Tuesday afternoon at Delray Shooting Center.
Police say the man came to Florida from another state and rented a car Tuesday morning. He went to the range, rented a revolver and fired several hundred rounds. Police say he waited for two other patrons to leave before shooting himself in the head.
Authorities say they found a detailed suicide note with his belongings.
Three other cases of people shooting themselves at gun ranges have been reported in Florida since April.
