We cater for Multi-Gun shoots (Handgun / Shotgun / Semi-Auto Rifles) and are an officially SAPS / CFR recognized dedicated sport shooting body.
One of the unique facets of this sport is that it is geared toward the new or average shooter, yet is fun, challenging and rewarding for the experienced shooter. The founders developed the sport so that practical gear and practical guns may be used competitively.
An interested person can spend a minimal amount on equipment and still be competitive.
The main goal is to test the skill and ability of the individual, not equipment or gamesmanship. “Competition only” equipment is not permitted in this sport.
Practical shooting is an international sport, promoted in more than sixty countries. The International Practical Shooting Confederation is the governing body, it sets the various rules i.t.o. match procedures, equipment and safety for competitions.
