If a shoot is well run, and people have fun, they'll be back again for sure, irrespective of the SAPSF opinion.
If SAPSF will sanction a Gauteng chapter, it's worth getting involved in the organising.
If SAPSF will not sanction a Gauteng chapter, I would still pay to shoot an unsanctioned pin shoot, and let the Pin Shooting Federation bend over and kiss it's overinflated buttocks.
If there is any one of you that is like minded and wants to see pin shooting get off the ground in Gauteng, let's do something about it, and the SAPSF can confirm it's position later.
I know for sure that every shooting range needs more revenue than it's getting, so I can't see a shortage of shooting locations. Personally, I like the weather in Pretoria on weekends, and the drive to Pietersburg is too long.
