Forest Service to Close 3 Shooting Ranges
Budget and staffing cuts have forced the U.S. Forest Service to schedule indefinite closures at three of the Angeles National Forest’s five shooting ranges.
Beginning April 17, target practice will be banned at the Kentucky Target Shooting Area, followed by the same restriction at the Pinyon and Horse shooting areas as of May 1.
The two that will remain open are controlled areas where target shooters must pay a fee to enter. They are A Place to Shoot near Santa Clarita in San Francisquito Canyon, and Burro Canyon Shooting Park northwest of Glendora.
