by Jay Taylor | inMaricopa
Shooting enthusiasts in Maricopa and Pinal County will soon be able to hone their skills at a new facility.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is expected to complete its buildout of the Box Canyon Shooting Sports site in August.
The 68-acre facility is located within the Box Canyon Recreation Area, a semi-developed 1,072-acre site about 10 miles west of town that is already popular as an informal range. The site has good proximity to the City of Maricopa, with the entrance to the new facility about 1,000 feet west of North Hidden Valley Road.
