Shoots are held on the mornings of the first Saturday of the month starting around 8:30, weather permitting, so best check beforehand with Kevin (082 877 0792) or Garth (083 677 5066).

In South Africa CAS is accredited as a shooting sport through Western Shooters of South Africa so you can be recognised as a dedicated sports shooter.

NARFO

National Association of Responsible Firearm Owners is accredited in terms of the Firearms Control Act for Hunting and Sport Shooting. Their goal is to promote the safe, legal and responsible use of firearms for sport shooting, hunting and self protection. They strive to create a positive image for all legal firearm owners.

As a gun owner, it is your duty and responsibility to yourself to always follow gun safety rules and ensure that you owning a firearm makes the world a safer place and does not harm you or those around you. Part of the responsibility of being a gun owner is to be proficient with your weapon. The more comfortable you are with handling, loading and unloading, and firing your weapon, the safer you will be.

Even the most experienced gun owners must always continue learning and adapting. Laws change, firearms change, and situations change.
