Greybeard, here is a list of Southern California shooting ranges; I am sorry to hear that Fish Canyon has closed, I have spent many days shooting there.

Angeles National Forest Two concessionaire-operated shooting areas are located within the Angeles National Forest. These are fee areas under Special Use Permit with the Forest Service, and are the only designated shooting areas within the Angeles National Forest.
A Place to Shoot is located 11 miles north of Saugus, CA, 8 miles north off of Copper Hill Rd., at 33951 San Francisquito Canyon Road. "A Place to Shoot" offers several ranges - from pistol to high-power rifle. This shooting area is operated by concessionaire, and eye and ear protection is required for all entering the Range.

Cleveland National Forest The Cleveland National Forest also has two designated shooting areas:
Orosco Shooting Area Recreational shooting is permitted as follows: Along Orosco Road during daylight hours only (sunrise to sunset). The gate to Orosco Road is locked with a combination lock. Please contact Palomar District Headquarters at (760)788-0250 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to obtain the current combination. Because the combination is changed periodically, we recommend you call before each trip. Adventure Pass required. Use only paper, clay pigeons, and metal spinning/knockdown targets. No shooting in the direction of Pamo Valley.
Palomar Divide Road Open Area Portions of the Palomar Divide road remain open to recreational shooting. From the beginning of the forest boundary on Palomar Divide Road (9S07) which is located near mile marker 42 on Highway 79 up to the junction of Oak Grove Road (9S09) and Palomar Divide Road (9S07) (in Section 25, Township 9 South, Range 1 East near high point lookout) remains open to recreational shooting. The Forest will continue to monitor the use in this area. [NOTE This area is temporarily closed as of May 2004.

San Bernardino National Forest The San Bernardino National Forest developed a Forest-wide shooting plan in 1999 that allows people to enjoy recreational shooting. Please call your local Ranger Station for detailed maps and information. Shooters are prohibited from destroying any natural feature in the National Forest, including plants and trees. Firearms must not be discharged within 150 yards of any developed area such as roads, trails, campgrounds, bodies of water, etc. Shooters should call ahead to the Ranger Station closest to their preferred shooting is to find out the fire restrictions for that particular day. The Forest may be closed to all target shooting during periods of high fire danger.
Forest Road 1N09 East of Highway 330
The Forest Road that leads to this remote fourteen site target shooting area is approximately one half mile from the City Creek Ranger Station on Highway 330. An Adventure Pass is required for all shooting areas on the forest. Because of the risks of starting a fire, only lead-core bullets are permitted. Steel core, armor piercing, or Teflon ammunition is not allowed. Shooters should call the Mill Creek Ranger Station (909-382-2882) for information on the fire activity level for the 1N09 area on the day they plan to target practice. If the Activity Level is at a 1 or 2, shooting is allowed all day. If the Activity Level is 3, shooting is allowed until 1:00 p.m. If the Activity Level is at 4 or 5, no shooting is allowed. Remember to help keep your National Forest clean by removing any target shooting related debris or trash.
Forest Road 3N14 North of Highway 38
Forest Road 2N02 East of Baldwin Lake Road
Forest Road 5S07 North of Highway 74
Forest Road 2N93 Lighting Gulch
Lytle Creek Firing Line (909-782-7438) is a developed shooting site offering year-round target shooting for visitors. This site is often closed, always call ahead.


State and Federal Park system Generally, there is no recreational shooting (or even possession of firearms) allowed in the California State park system. The federal parks (including National Parks, National Landmarks and National Monuments) also prohibit all recreational shooting of any kind. The Mojave National Preserve, operated by the National Park Service, allows upland bird hunting (in season - Call for details).


Bureau of Land Management Public Lands The California Desert Conservation Area offers recreational shooting. Shooting of any kind is not permitted in the Stoddard Valley OHV Recreation Area (except shotgun use during hunting season) and in the El Mirage OHV Recreation Area. These areas are heavily used by off-highway vehicles. What might be a great backstop for recreational shooters may be a rider's favorite hill climb or descent route. A zone has been established where shotgun use only (with shot no larger than half the bore diameter) is allowed. The general area just south of State Route 58 and Interstate 40, north of the San Bernardino National Forest, west of the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Air/Ground Combat Center and east of the Los Angeles County line is designated as shotgun-only by San Bernardino County Ordinance. There is an irregular boundary south of the town of Barstow, Ca, where all types of legal weapon shooting is permitted. The "Shotgun Only" zone does not prohibit lawful skeet shooting.
For Rifle and Pistol shooting, the legal target shooting area is the area north, northwest, or northeast of Barstow, taking into consideration any private land, posted signs, and other rules and regulations that would apply. It is the responsibility of the shooter to know the laws for the area where they are shooting. For a detailed map, call the San Bernardino County Fire Special Districts office at (909) 387-5940 (157 W. 5th Street, 2nd Floor, San Bernardino, CA 92415-0451). Do not shoot within 150 yards of any man-made object, camp, domestic livestock, or occupied dwelling.
