Sorry to reply to this here, I'm still trying to remember my wiki
password (been away for a while, only just getting back into it)
You (the royal 'you', not you alex) have listed the possible values as
clay, range and paintball. What about airsoft?
(think paintball with bb guns, more realistic weapons, without the messy
paint, it's more of a military simulation then all out killing)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft
There's tons of sites *dedicated* to airsofting around the county,
there's three in my local area (Wigan) which I frequent and I've been
looking for a way to tag them. Trust me airsofters are going to be
annoyed if their shooting sites get listed as 'paintballing' sites, and
visa versa.
The reason they need to be listed separately is that paint balling sites
are not nessarily airsofting sites, and airsofting sites are not
necessarily paint balling sites. Non of the three in my area are
paintballing sites, though there is one paintballing site in my area
that doesn't allow airsofting.
I think with this proposal OSM could become *the* source of
paintballing/airsofting sites, I don't think there are many complete
maps of these sites currently around.
Bonus about airsofting? recently the UK government said that all sites
needed to register and all players needed to register to legally own the
replica weapons, what does this mean for OSM? Potentially a nice list of
sites straight from the governing body (UKARA):
http://www.ukara.org.uk/node/24
Someone from legal just needs to drop them an email and see if they will
share the data, I reckon they would love a OSM map on their site with
all the sites listed in return! Worth a try.
If I remember my password i'll post this on the wiki too.
