Newbie from Kraaibakistan
Hi all! Newbie here from the northern suburbs of Cape Town.
I've been registered on this forum since 2014 but I've finally decided to start my journey of becoming a firearm owner, so there's no better time to introduce myself here.
I completed my proficiency training yesterday through WPFT School with Stuart Ralph.
Yesterday was my first time pulling the trigger with a firearm. My gas powered BB gun couldn't have prepared me for the insane adrenaline rush! Here's how it went with the Glock 17:

Awaiting my training certificate and then its off to the local DFO for application and the waiting game (I have no idea which one to go to - I live in Kraaifontein but the closest station to me is Brackenfell)

Welcome. Looks like the principles of marksmanship are alive and well in Kraaibakistan.

Re: Newbie from Kraaibakistan
Thanks! I can't wait to head over to the shooting range with my own FA in two years time
It seems like the bug has bitten nice and hard
I'm a bit perplexed by the DFO thing though... everyone I've asked says "They will tell you who your DFO is"... WHO'S THEY???
Like I said in my first post, I'm in Kraaifontein but the closest SAPS to me is Brackenfell, second closest Durbanville. Kraaifontein SAPS is way out of my way.

Fellow kraaier here.
Welcome to the gun family. You fall under the kraaifontein station. Very nice DFO's there. You unfortunately cannot do your app at the other stations even though it is much closer.

Re: Newbie from Kraaibakistan
A long drive to a helpful and competent DFO is way better than popping round the corner to deal with a pappa oscar echo sierra.
