I was there two years ago on business.

There are at least 4 or 5 clubs, located in their municipal atheletic centers. Those are big atheletic buildings. First floor swimming pool, 2nd floor bowling. Shooting was on 5th floor of this building.
I think I paid 200NT? (5 dollars) for 20 pellets/ 1 target/ one Steyr CO2 pistol. No time limit. I was shooting amongst mostly high school kids and para-shooters in wheelchairs. There was a coach on site. I just remembered the kids were not very friendly to me, thought I was invading their afterschool territory.

Now if you have personal connection, you can find the police academy training facility where a few of their Olympians train. That would be nice. I don't know where that is located. But Taiwan is a small island, from top to bottom is only 5 hours.
