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