Tips

In 1936, the Grenadiers Regiment built a shooting range here for the Waalwijk Civil Guard. The track was 100 meters long and ended in a bullet trap. You can see this earthen wall further down. Ten meters in front of the wall was a deep trench from which the targets were hoisted up. The slot is not present.

The Waalwijk Civil Guard consisted of volunteers who helped the government in maintaining public order and peace. For their shooting training they used the shooting range in Loon op Zand, for which they had to cross the dunes on foot. The wish to have our own shooting range came true in 1936 when this range was opened by Mayor Moonen.
The Civil Guard was not able to use it for long, because the track was closed down by the German occupiers in 1940.
