Recreational and Target Shooting

Target shooting is an acceptable use of Coronado National Forest lands when done safely and responsibly. Shooters are reminded to consider the safety of other Forest visitors and to respect public and private property. Safe target placement against a solid backstop is important. Shooters should use standard targets, not appliances, furniture, glass, etc., and remove targets and shell casings before leaving the area.  Shooting in areas with flammable materials such as dry grass should be avoided, as ricochets can cause wildfiresShooters should avoid shooting in any manner or place whereby any person, property, or natural resource (such as wildlife or vegetation) is exposed to injury or damage.
