To provide for the conveyance of certain public land in Mohave Valley, 
 Mohave County, Arizona, administered by the Bureau of Land Management 
 to the Arizona Game and Fish Commission, for use as a public shooting 
                                 range.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Mohave Valley Land Conveyance Act of 
2011''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) Mohave County, Arizona, has experienced rapid growth in 
        the last few years and traditional locations for target 
        shooting are now too close to populated areas for safety;
            (2) there is a need to designate a centralized public 
        location in Mohave County where target shooters can practice 
        safely; and
            (3) a central facility is also needed for persons training 
        in the use of firearms, such as local law enforcement and 
        security personnel.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is--
            (1) to provide a suitable location for the establishment of 
        a centralized public shooting facility in Mohave; and
            (2) to provide the public with--
                    (A) opportunities for education and recreation;
                    (B) a location for competitive events and 
                marksmanship training; and
                    (C) a location for local law enforcement officers 
                to practice and improve their marksmanship skills so 
                that they do not have to leave the area to practice 
                such skills.
