Bloemfontein shooting CLUBS?

[Snow]

Hi guys, so since I have so much time at hands (waiting for my comp and license to go through) I have been searching for clubs in the Bloemfontein area. I just visited the NSA website as I was contemplating to join them and become a member and obtain my DSS, but I noticed there is no "official" range according to their website to do NSA in Bloemfontein, the closest was in Welkom. Not to far but I really don't want to drive 140-170km's to do an official shoot?

So this bothered me and I went on to search for shooting clubs in Bloemfontein, this is what I found:
http://www.bmssk.co.za/
http://www.fspsa.co.za/ (are they still active)
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bloem...69898719694808 - saw the facebook page was updated more than a year ago?

Saw in another thread "Ranges in Bloemfontein" that they were working on getting IDPA for Bloemfontein. (any news on this?)

So the only range I am aware of is the one at Die Skietwinkel. I was just wondering if there were more ranges in town, or if anyone could tell me of more developments?

Regards.

There's nothing wrong with your Google fu.

There are individual shooters who do NSA target shooting in Bloem. If you PM me contact details I'm sure we can put you in contact.

Yes, the IPSC clubs are all active. The Bloem one is at the Shooting Centre. If you follow the directions given on your first link, you should be able to find it. The IDPA thing hasn't taken off yet.

So, what did you get?

Glock 19, its waiting for me in Kroonstad, aaaah the suspense is killing me!!! I can't wait for it to be over with (the application was only handed in on the 1st of October so I have a bit of a wait on my side with the process)... Aaaah that would be great hey!!! First I need to finish the exams that are 8 days away :O!. When its all done I will give you a call/pm if its okay?

The Shooting Centre, is that the 1st link one?

Two IPSC clubs in Bloem. Defense and BPSK. BPSK is at the Bloemfontein Shooting center on the Reddersburg road. Guys are there most Saturdays in the afternoon.

@Snow:

My local range isn't even on NSA's list anymore.
As long as it's an accredited shooting range then you can go there.

Thx rocco, can't believe I missed that one!

And thx Knoffel, really appreciate that bit of information*! I honestly didn't know that, maybe they said it on their website and I missed it.

Thx guys!
