Just left Florence area today,( Box Canyon) had no idea you couldn't shoot out there anymore. Any suggestions other than Sycamore?

Sure was, signs at the entrance. Small white metal signs posted by BLM. Bullet holes shot through them too. It's no wonder these things happen.

I would like to know where I can shoot 360 degrees. Does anyone know where I can find a bowl area to shoot in?

Uhhh, just out of curiosity, why would you want to shoot 360 degrees? Not being a smart _ss, just can't envision that.

Ok good question. Setting up targets behind you or off to the side of you. That way you can work around a SUV or around a obstacle of what ever you want.
Your enemy doesn't always come at you from your front.

I found 2 river bottoms on public land but they are not completely closed. One side is always open.

There's a pit off Hewitt Station road that you can do that.
I'll let you find it from here. Need 4wd to get to it. I used to put all my targets in a Ranger and drive in.
