New Public Shooting Ranges: More Recreational Opportunities.

This act aims to facilitate the creation and management of designated shooting ranges on National Forest System land and public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management. This means citizens will gain more safe and accessible places for recreational shooting and archery, often without additional fees. The act also requires an assessment of existing ranges and the identification of new, suitable locations.
