Sedona is surrounded by the Coconino National Forest. Shooting is permitted on CNF land unless a fire ban is in effect do to dry conditions. Remember it’s the law in Arizona that you must tell law enforcement officers if you have a firearm in the car with you if you’re pulled over.
We generally go to a sand pit off of Beaverhead Flat Rd (Map). It’s popular and well known to locals. It has a high, sandy embankment to safely shoot into and is not near anything. To get there from the Village of Oak Creek, drive south on 179 a couple miles, go past the Ranger station and take a right on Beaverhead Flat. Climb up the hill and just before the top is a dirt road to the left. You’ll be able to see the area from the road. Rules are posted and if a fire ban is in effect they will usually post it up there. Please be safe, courteous and responsible when using firearms. Don’t be surprised if the Sheriff stops by to check on things. In the summer it’s a good idea to check with the Rangers for any restrictions.
