There is a risk that the number of shooting ranges in Finland will decrease significantly. The existing shooting ranges are in different parts of the country, and they are geographically dispersed.
Shooting ranges for civilian use are usually maintained by game management associations, hunting societies, private individuals or companies. In addition, the Defence Forces have shooting ranges for military use.
Civilian shooting ranges are often in common use and their users range from recreational shooters to public authorities. A sufficiently comprehensive network of shooting ranges is necessary for efficient training. Shooting ranges are safe training places for shooting sports athletes and recreational shooters.
