Congressman Moore announces interactive map created under Range Access Act to locate free public shooting ranges

Congressman Moore announced a new interactive map intended to help people find safe, publicly accessible shooting ranges, saying the tool is a direct result of legislation he passed earlier in 2025.

Moore said, “It’s called the Range Access Act,” and that the law "requires the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service to ensure that there is a shooting range free of charge in each district, across the country." He added the map is “very interactive” and will help users locate where ranges are available.

Moore noted the map’s listings are concentrated in the western United States because that is where most federal public lands are located. He said his office followed the bill through the legislative process and that implementation is now under way, with his office providing a link to the resource.

The announcement focused on public access and safety, with Moore describing the intent as expanding opportunities for "safe, responsible" shooting on public lands. He invited listeners to view the map, which his office said will be linked with the announcement.

The statement did not include details on funding, specific district-by-district implementation timelines, or whether new ranges will be created or existing facilities designated; those details were not specified in the statement. The office said the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service are the agencies responsible for carrying out the law’s requirements.
