Look here. Many of our Wildlife Management / Public Hunting areas have ranges open to the public. There are also a couple of nice gun clubs in your area as well.

Welcome to OK! OKCHunter has you pointed in a good direction. While we don't have BML land here, the Wildlife Management areas fulfill the need for public shooting areas. Some ranges are better than others. Private ranges are the way to go though.

Hi and welcome. Since you're in Jenks, nearest public would probably be the WMA in Okmulgee or the Corps of Engineers land along the Arkansas River in Sand Springs. If you want to just shoot and you don't mind spending $10 you really can't beat Happy Hollow in Sapulpa; http://www.happyhollowgunrange.com
Don't you need a hunting license to shoot on WMA land?

Technically yes, hunting licenses are annual 1/1 through 12/31.

The range at Okmulgee WMA is primitive like the camping sites.
