Since most people here seem to agree on this and we also have
sport=archery I created a wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:sport%3Dpaintball
Question is if we should to some retagging with shooting=paintball.
Having done both, paintball and shooting are as different as basketball and
soccer are from each other - you still put a ball in the net, but gameplay is
quite different. Besides the similarity of the paintball gun to a real gun,
paintball has more in common with either of those ball sports than shooting on
a practice range.
Getting the person "out" and capturing a goal in the play field (almost like
dodgeball) is not the same as a skill contest to get a bullseye (with a lethal weapon).
Also, paintball takes place in a field where people are supposed to be during
play - and the opponents are targets - whereas at a shooting range... Targets
are hay bales or cardboard, and people on the range face death by entering.
Keeping paintball and shooting separate is a very very good idea.

'Paintball' may be sufficiently different that it should have a separate tag.

Isn't shooting just aiming at non-living targets like what is seen in
the Olympics? If so, then paintball is definitely different.
