Shooting range (remote) Apply for permission

If you operate a mobile facility that is used for shooting sports or other shooting exercises with firearms, the testing of firearms or shooting with firearms for amusement (shooting range), or if you would like to significantly change its nature or type of use, you need a permit from the competent weapons authority.

No permit is required for shooting ranges where shooting is carried out in closed rooms exclusively for the testing of firearms or ammunition by weapons or ammunition manufacturers, by weapons or ammunition experts or by scientific institutions.

In the case of mobile shooting ranges, a one-time permit is sufficient before the first installation.

The shooting range must be inspected by the competent authority with regard to the safety requirements before it is put into operation for the first time. For this purpose, an expert opinion from a recognized shooting range expert can also be obtained at the expense of the operating person.
