Pretoria Steel Challenge.

Love The Sound
Yesterday someone asked my if I had a problem with being alone.
At first I did not understand why the question was asked then they told that they saw me alone in church on Sunday.
This was something that had never entered my min. I am quite at home with myself.
I even went off to shoot Pretoria Steel Challenge on my own.
This was not only because I am quite OK being by myself but because anyone who knows me will tell you I just LOVE shooting my gun.
Sunday was the first shoot of the year for me and where better than to start in Pretoria with Gys and his Steel Challenge and as always a Superb Day of Shooting. Thanks Gys.
My main aim on Sunday was accuracy over speed after the long Christmas lay off and it pays. This was my second best score shot at Steel Challenge so I am a Happy Chappy.

Northern Gauteng Open

Richard On The Skeet Range
It looks like we are going to have a year of Clay Target Shooting.

Richard has decided that he wants to get back into competition shooting again so Northern Gauteng Open was the start on the Clay Target Calendar.

NSSA Skeet was kind to him but the Universal Trench bit him in the bum.

This has made him more determined and he will be back for some more punishment.

Young Van Tonder With His Cap - Before
The shoot was very well run with more than 160 guns. Sweltering heat and lovely to see some very young guns on the range.

One of the young guns, Luaan van Tonder, excelled on the week end and shot a 26 straight at Skeet Doubles.

Now the tradition is that you get as many guns as you can after the shoot, toss your cap in the air and they take shoot the heck out of your cap.

Well done young man. Hope to see lots of you.

You treasure that cap for a life time.
