I have been a dedicated-sports shooter for several years. I was fortunate that when I started out there were other sport-shooters who were willing to allow me to use their firearms while I built up enough points or shoots to apply for my dedicated status. I was then able to apply for the firearms that I needed for the sports-shooting disciplines I wished to partake in. While waiting for the firearm licences, I was again fortunate to be able to use other sports-shooters firearms. However, what does the Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000 (FCA) say about this? This is dealt with in terms of Section 22 of the FCA, which allows one to use another person’s firearm under their immediate supervision. The section is quoted verbatim: Holder of a…

Within a couple of days, we reached our 50 shooter limit. To be honest, I was taken by surprise and hit a bit of a panic as I had expected maybe 20 shooters. Luckily for me, James Devine, who had just motivated and raised funds to purchase seven tablets for SAPRF scoring, came to the rescue. James jumped in boots and all and took over the registration, squadding and match set-up. His help alleviated the pressure, so we decided to extend the shooter limit to 60. Again, this filled up within hours, and we unfortunately had to put a number of shooters on the waiting list. Ludy Starke and his dedicated team worked hard The shoot itself was hosted by the Long-Range Precision Club on its field range at the…

Now it was going to be my turn! I decided to start small. Seeing that rimfire is growing in popularity, I thought that a Warrior Mini Grind would be the perfect and most professional manner to dip my toes and gauge the temperature. We started by procuring gongs from Punishing Steel Targets. They certainly know how to build a KYL rack, with the two of the last targets being really small! My team and I scouted the range the weekend before the setup for the Warrior Mini Grind. One then finds you don’t need a lot of space and stage setup can be completed more efficiently than with a big centrefire match. Eventually after having the entire picture in my mind, I got six stages mapped out and started my…

It is an honour for me to report back on a national event hosted in my home town. I would like to give special recognition to the Range Officer (RO) contingent as well, as they are normally the quiet heroes of each competition. ROs range in ages from 22 to over 70 years, each giving their best. The pre-match commenced on Thursday 10 February, in which 44 ROs participated. The ROs also included shooters from Germany. Gökhan Aydin from Germany acted as Chief Range Officer. During his speech at the prize-giving, he praised the great effort of the hosting committee as well as the course designers and builders. ROs did a splendid job All the ROs that I and my detail encountered did a splendid job at a technical level.…

So, let us begin. My first impression was that it has a lot to offer the customer for the price. It is like buying ten scopes in one. Thanks to the interchangeable reticle, I found the one I liked using. The riflescope has a lot of different competitors, and you do not always get what you want out of a scope. All scopes at the lower price point have their pros and cons. You can gain a lot by using the Konuspro EL-30 riflescope on your PCP air rifle or classic .22 gun. It can also handle larger calibres. The scope will not be ideal on all areas out on the range and in the hunting field. But it does offer a good compromise. The scope has an illuminated reticle…
