The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued guidance Thursday, Dec. 31, designed to protect and expand recreational shooting opportunities on BLM-managed public lands. More than 99 percent of the 245 million surface acres managed by the agency are currently open to recreational shooting, and this guidance will help ensure that these activities can continue wherever possible.
âRecreational shooting is a longstanding tradition for millions of Americans, and the Department is proud to support this popular pastime as a key component of the BLMâs multiple-use mission,â said Casey Hammond, principal deputy assistant secretary for Land and Minerals Management. âWorking with local communities, our state agency partners, and other key stakeholders, we will continue to ensure that public lands remain open to recreational shooting, allowing Americans to pass down our nationâs rich outdoor heritage to future generations.â
