Re: Pin shooters on this forum
I did approach my previous club, but got told that they were only interested in "formal" target shooting.
I am working (slowly I am afraid) to get things started in my new club.

Re: Pin shooters on this forum
Hi Guys
The only active Pin Shooting Club in KZN that is affiliated to SAPSF (SA Pin Shooting Federation) is indeed based in Newcastle.
The KZN PSA (KZN Pin Shooting Association) that is a provincial chapter of SAPSF is also based here. We have regular shoots and presently have 15 permanent members, more than half of them already with Dedicated Status. We are the section of a bigger local shooting club (Buffalo River Shooting Club) and have our own range dedicated only to shooting pins, with permanent steel tables.
If you require more information please PM me or you can speak to the any member of the SAPSF at Huntex.(more info in this thread)
Marek
PS The Gunsite training Academy in Newcastle has been established many years ago (AFAIK) but is not very active presently, if it is active at all.

Probably lost - posting from mobile. Marekjan just posted some details. I think we durban okes (like myself) will find it hard to drive 2.5-3hrs to Newcastle for a shoot. You know, as kk20 said, " we lazy buggers who need to get paid to apply for free glocks" Will try to pluck up the courage though.

Hi 786dbn
You are welcome to come, have a look, blast some pins and then start your own section/club. I traveled to CT (1500km) to get info , brought back a box of pins, built first table - (my own Rs and hands) and the section was slowly born. It all depend how much do you want to have it.
Travelling IS a bit of a hassle but if you get a buddy or two, share the fuel costs that't not too bad.
We travel 300km one way to shoot SADPA once a month. Adds to cost a bit, but it is fun and we enjoy it a lot. Even watching sunrise on the way is great.
At least nobody can doubt my dedication, neh?
I will gladly help you with all the info, paperwork, lessons learnt etc, etc
There is work to be done, but it is definitely worth it.
You may also like to contact Blunderbuss on this forum. He is (hopefully) still interested so there will be two of you in Dbn
Cheers & good luck
Mj

Re: Pin shooters on this forum
Hi Mj.
Will any of you KZN pin shooters be attending the upcoming Gauteng Provincial champs?
Limpopo will be there in force, defending our honour. Most GPSA trophies are residing in Limpopo at present. Hoping to teach them a few lessons again...
Regards!

MJ is 100% correct in his advise.
Visit them for a shoot. Get the dope. Get some pins from them. Start your own fun. Others will be hooked soon and then you guys from Dbn visit them for a league shoot.
Start with two plastic 200L drums and a long wooden beam 2"x6" x say 5 feet long and 9 pins at least.
Once you are hooked you will get other nuts to join you for league shoots and share travel and other costs. Before to long you will build your own pin tables.
Many like to shoot few to help with the physical and admin side of the fun.
Hope you understand that without some person being adamant to do it none will join.
Regards
