BLM-managed lands are open to shooting

[Saspens]

Hi there!
I'm new to shooting, and I have, I guess, a stupid question
I'm looking for someplace to practice shooting outside, it looks like it's legal in OK, according to RECREATIONAL SHOOTING rules.
But what's confusing for me: is how to understand where you can and where you can't shoot.
There is a map , but still, I have no idea where are those "99 percent of BLM-managed lands" which are open to shooting.
I'm living in Yukon, trying to find something more or less close to home.
Thanks for any info or advice!

Many of the State Wildlife Management Areas have shooting ranges located within the management area. Look on the ODWC website - I think they are listed there. You do need a current hunting license to access the ranges.

Edit - here is a link:

With recreational shooting on the rise, the Wildlife Department is working to help meet the demand for places to shoot with WMA shooting ranges.

Not sure OK, has BLM land available. I'm out of OR. and we have lots of BLM land to shoot on.
If you go to the BLM web site I do not see OK. as a option.

BLM land pretty much stops/starts at the New Mexico border, +/- a couple states up north.

Lots of open federal land in the more western states...CO, AZ, UT, WY, ID, etc...where shooting is permitted. Good luck finding any in OK. Especially close to Yukon. That's one of the very few things I don't like about this state.

Only one I know of is Comanche National Grassland just inside Colorado and north of Boise City. Quite a haul from Yukon.

I used to shoot there when working in CO. That ain't Oklahoma but it's as close as you are probably gonna find unless Chickasaw National Recreation Area allows shooting. Not sure if it's BLM either. It is in the NPS though so maybe?

We don't have BLM here but there are several State Wildlife Management Areas that have nice shooting ranges open to the public.

Lexington WMA range. It's about an hour from Yukon to the SE.
