Shooting is a competitive and leisure sport involving tests of proficiency (accuracy and speed) using various types of weapons such as firearms and airguns. This tag describes locations where this sport is practiced.
In Switzerland nearly all villages have their own shooting range; the militia army requires soldiers to practice once a year. Usually local clubs own these shooting ranges, therefore the sporting group was chosen and not the military group. The smaller shooting ranges normally contain smaller tracks and footways that are locked during shooting. The lock gates can be tagged with barrier=gate, but the whole area should be tagged as well.

Tagging example
Proposed rendering
- Nodes: a small pistol
- A red area, should be an alarming color.
Do not use
shooting=range as this is implied from leisure=pitch with sport=shooting.
