Shooters to officially open new buildings

ENTERPRISE — The grand opening of the new buildings at the Eagles Cap Shooters range north of Enterprise will take place Saturday, Sept. 9, with a day of various events, according to Shooters President Bill Oliver.

The day begins with a youth shoot at 9 a.m. The grand opening of the multipurpose education center at the shooting range will be at noon. The new building is 40 feet by 60 feet with 20-by-40-foot porches on each end, Oliver said.

He said the county — in the building permit application — values the building at about $350,000, but with the donations of both money and the work of local contractors, the cost isn’t near that amount.

In the afternoon there will be a “cowboy action demonstration” and shoot where guests will be allowed to try various firearms, both rifles and pistols. Ammunition and weapons will be provided.

A range day for hunter’s safety students also will be held. The range day is part of the requirements for the students to receive their qualification.

The gun range is at 69105 Ant Flat Road, seven miles north of Enterprise off of Highway 3.
