I have been "hunting" for information related to designated shooting areas, both private and public, in the SBNF and San Bernadino County areas. I have actually found quite a bit of helpful info! Here are some links for future reference.
The Fish and Game Commissioner for San Berdoo is a shooter! He has put together an updated map of the entire county that defines where you can shoot legally. These are excellent maps, dated 2010, and replace the very old one you may have seen before. Here is the info:
John Bishop

The SBNF has several helpful web pages that list "Designated Public Target Shooting Areas" Here is a link: http://bit.ly/jc6OSh
