If you wish to 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 wish to significantly change its nature or the way in which it is used, you require a permit from the competent weapons authority.

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

In the case of mobile shooting ranges, a one-off permit is sufficient prior to initial installation.

The shooting range must be inspected by the competent authority with regard to 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 operator.
