Frontier Classic - Stilfontein

This weekend we are in search of additions to our collections and stumbled on a little family

B & B Klerksdorp

owned gun shop in Klerksdorp.

Made some good rare finds for the CZ collection.

CZ 27 - Nazi Pistol

While we were here we went past the house we lived in when Warren was born - 40 years ago. It is scary to think so much time has passed in just a flash. Brought back memories of one of the best things that happened in my life - that is my Warren.

Then the main reason for this trip down to north West Province is the Frontier Classic which

is shot in Stilfontein.

Had a look at the ranges this morning and can'r wait to tackle them tomorrow.

Staying over at a B & B tonight and and had a superbulous dinner at Adegas.

So sorry to end the day with load shedding

The Jury Checking The Ranges

Our lives have revolved around handgun and shotgun this past week.

The S A Grand started on Thursday and took shooters through to Sunday.

Shooters arrived on Thursday with a hurricane wind blowing

No Injury Keeps You Off The Shooting Range

and they battled the clays that were dipping and diving all through the day.

Friday and the rest of the shoot took place in beautiful weather and we had much happier chappies breaking their clays.

This year it was lovely to see a greater number of juniors than normal take part, the largest contingent coming from Zimbabwe.

Then of course all the faithful old shooters that make the shoot so interesting. Lovely to watch all these personalities with their different styles and not to speak of the determination of these shooters - they just keep shooting good scores year after year.

Golden City Club Shoot 7 & 8

Club Shoot 8

Now by posting about two weekend club shoots, please don't call me lazy.

It is out of necessity. Time is what I am pretty short of these days.

Club Shoot 8

As usual our details were good company and loads of fun.




Weather was just perfect and of course not a shoot goes by that we don't learn about the rules and strategies of this wonderful sport of ours.
