Shooting range (fixed) Apply for permission

If you operate a fixed facility that is used for shooting sports or other shooting exercises with firearms, the testing of firearms or shooting with firearms for amusement purposes (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.
