    Default Black powder competency -Witbank/Middelburg area

    Good day members
    Are there members who are interested in participating in a black powder competency course? I want to do my competency in black powder and would like a few members who are interested to participate as well? I will do all the arrangements and bookings you just need to pitch up, do the course and pay. I will see if it is possible to get a discount if we are a few members.

    Please contact met at:

    BP powder has become so expensive to shoot. Its cheaper and less hassle to just shoot a center fire rifle.

    Shooty , I definitely agree with you, it really is extremely expensive to pay R800 + a kilo for black powder.

    Still, for me it is a necessity, since I hunt every year the 1880 Era Black powder hunt. I did decide to start shooting a black powder rifle more frequently through out the year to keep me in practice....so I just need to budget properly... I got myself a Martini Henry ( courtesy of my good friend/mentor Johan Greyling) , purchase drawn brass and ready to start hunting/shooting this beautiful old rifle....

    Feedback/update to members who is interested to do a competency in black powder rifle shooting:

    I did contact Gerhard Landman( Dwandzani at Balmoral) .

    1X member with own black powder rifle: R500
    1x member with Dwandzani rifle : R600

    When I have a group together to do this competency I will contact Gerhard Landman to get a date that will suite us all.

    Wasn't there a thread about a new local manufacturer? Or was it an article I read?
