I agree with this interpretation.  sport=* should always be secondary to
some physical feature that is a location in some way related to the sport
(where it is played, where you can get lessons, a shop, etc).

What would you suggest then for a shop that sells surfboards eg
https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-28.0770975,153.4431424,3a,75y,168.57h,84.72t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sw8FwnxP0v8kJgGpiKtZTFQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en

So that would suggest amenity=shooting_range would be a good choice?

these descriptions are misguided and should be fixed. The tag “sport” is about 
a sport, it is a property, and unlike the wiki says, its presence does not even 
tell in every case that you can exercise the sport at an object with this tag. 
E.g.
shop=sports
sport=surfing

The wiki is explicit: “ A sport should normally also be associated with a 
suitable physical feature where it is performed; often this is leisure=pitch or

Where OSM Wiki claims that sport key alone indicates physical

As far as I know it only describes that it specifies type/purpose of

leisure=pitch.



Look at the descriptions on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sport


Some examples;

sport    bowls        A place where you can play lawn bowls/lawn bowling.

sport    kitesurfing        To mark a spot for kitesurfing

sport    multi        A sports facility that is suitable for more than 
one sport


sport    racquet        Racquetball facilities, such as racquetball courts

sport    scuba_diving        To mark a spot for scuba diving

sport    surfing        A spot for surfing.



These do not describe the 'sport'/activity but state it is a 
'place'/'spot' i.e. a physical thing.

Note that the shooting_range hazard is specifically about the zone in and
around a shooting range that you should avoid if you don't want to
accidentally encounter a stray bullet (the area of the hazard) rather than
as a tag for a shooting range itself.

I've been using leisure=sports_centre + sport=shooting for these,

Possibly "target shooting" would be a better option, as you shoot at
targets located on the range, not at the range itself, which is just open
ground, usually with a mound of dirt at one end.

they actually mention “ mortars, artillery”

IMHO these could merit an extra tag, eventually, I’m not likely to come into

I have seen some shooting=range but the tag does not make too much sense for 
tagging a shooting range facility.

We have sport=shooting and the physical nature of the place usually would go in 
a leisure tag, maybe sometimes amenity, man_made or natural.
I would see more consistency in shooting=* describing the kind of shooting 
rather than the place, e.g. shooting=rifle / pistol / archery or maybe 
biathlon. These are also already present, have a look:

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/shooting#values

shooting=range could still be ok, if this is intended to describe the kind of 
shooting, and “range shooting” is a suitable category (e.g. for a sports club, 
e.g. as opposed to clay pigeon shooting, or hunting etc.), but not as a tag for 
a shooting range.

Tangents.

Sports?

Just as skiing can be either snow or water .. shooting by some can be 
taken as bow and arrow or guns ...



Pitches?

While 'pitch' is good for many playing fields it doe not suit so well 
for some e.g. darts, table tennis, chess.



Leisure?

As some have pointed out some sports are played for money .. and some 
for both leisure and money. It would be good to move away from the 
leisure key to the landuse key .. non specific as to leisure or 
'professional'. Yes it could create overlap of various landuses .. 
nothing new there though.

There was a suggestion on one of the "shooting" talk pages of making it
amenity=shooting_range, due to this exact reason - they're often used for
training by police, security & people interested in home defence, rather
than just as a leisure pastime.

Another issue is how to map them?

Another comment suggested =recreation_ground for the whole area (car parks,
buildings etc) with shooting=range for the actual area that bullets are
flying over.

However, I have seen photos of at least one rifle range in Switzerland,
that has the firing point on one side of a valley, wit the targets on the
other side, & a highway running along the valley floor, 50 m below!

is firing ordnance a leisure activity somewhere? Or a sport? leisure=range 
makes me think about golf driving ranges, but there’s already 
golf=driving_range for it.

The leisure key is generally silly, because we assign these tags also to sports 
facilities for professional sports people, but for shooting ranges it seems 
even less appropriate to add them under leisure when the operator is the 
military, a pmc or the police, not to speak of bombing ranges.

Perhaps simply leisure=range, as this would be generic to any type of
facility where one might fire projectiles or ordnance.  You could then
extend that with something like range= to specify what is being fired,
and/or the existing sport= key if it's considered a shooting sport.

The wiki recommends leisure=pitch for archery which also seems ill advised.
If anything it might be considered a danger zone of some  kind.

I think we could do with a tag for these sorts of areas. It would probably
be best if it depreciated leisure=pitch for the areas where you would
expect a javelin, discus, "hammer" or shot put to land too. It may also be
an appropriate supplementary tag for driving ranges.

"Shooting" is a sport.

That's an improvement.  Not ideal, because it's practised at a

but no good one.
