[Tagging] sport=shooting_range vs sport=shooting + leisure=pitch

[Brian M. Sperlongano]

I understand pitch to mean "a playing field" (as "pitch" is not often used
in US English -- we would say "soccer field" for example.).  I don't know
if a shooting range is a pitch or not, but it definitely isn't a playing
field.
