I have found out that a shooting range should be tagged with sport=shooting. So far, so good.

But the wiki page about Key:sport states that "Since this is a non-physical tag it should be combined with one of these (physical) tags…" - and I do agree. But which physical tags should I typically use?

I've thought about leisure=pitch, but I don't feel convinced that the English word "pitch" is used for shooting ranges.

Presumably building=yes for where the actual firing occurs as there is often some shelter of some sort.

If the target range is outside probably on grass, so tag those areas like landuse=grass, access=no (so yeah shoot me [pun intended] if you prefer landcover=*...) for those areas.

Also, military=danger_area sounds like an interesting tag for an open-air shooting range.
