Last Handgun Day of the Summer
The Big Savage Sportsmen’s Club is hosting a “Handgun Day at the Frostburg Rifle/Pistol Range” on Saturday, September 6th. It will be the last Handgun Day of the summer. The event is free and open to the public, and is designed for those citizens who are thinking about handgun ownership, or who own a handgun but don’t feel comfortable shooting it.
This event will provide the opportunity to shoot a variety of types and calibers made available by local gun dealer Mountain Maryland Firearms Training, of Frostburg, MD. Shooters may also bring their own ammunition and handgun, which must be unloaded prior to entry. Those attending under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent, or legal guardian. Short workshops will be provided throughout the day to explain laws regarding transport, storage and safety, responsibilities of handgun ownership, and will also include demonstration of grip, aiming and shooting techniques. Live firing will follow each workshop and each shooter will be supervised by a National Rifle Association certified Range Safety Officer of Big Savage Sportsmen’s Club or Piney Mt. Sportsmen’s Association.
The range is located off of Clifton Terrace, Rt. 40, west of Frostburg, across the road from Kemp Drive. Participants may attend any time between 10a.m. and 3p.m. The range will close at 4pm. The Club has hosted a Handgun Day each spring and fall since 2010. The event will be held rain or shine, as the shooting stations are all covered and protected from the weather.
Questions may be directed to 301-689-9291, or visit Frostburg Rifle Range or Big Savage Sportsmen’s Club on Face Book.
