The Douglas Rifle and Pistol Club will be having an open house Saturday at the Douglas Shooting Park on East Geronimo Trail off of 15th Street.


The event will run from 10 A.M. to 3 P.M.

Event organizer Bill Wendt said the purpose of this open house it to allow the public to meet members of the local shooting club as well as representatives from various agencies that use the range for training and qualification.

“There will be ongoing demonstrations of the various shooting competitions that are held each month,” Wendt said.

There will also be live demonstrations of various types of weapons and optical devices.

“The public will be invited to actually fire various types of weapons,” Wendt added. “Members of the public desiring to fire their own weapons must do so before 10 A.M. or after 3 P.M. to avoid conflict with the scheduled live fire demonstrations.”

Free hot dogs and cold drinks will be provided by the Club from 11-1.

Wendt added eye and ear protection is required within 100 feet of the firing line.

“If you have safety glasses, ear plugs or muffs please bring them,” he said. “The number of loaners is limited”

Anyone with questions may contact Wendt at 364-7677 or Allsafe Security at 805-1970.
