Re: Black powder competency -Witbank/Middelburg area
Good day members.
We completed our black powder competency certificate course today. It was real nice to have met some of the members of this forum and other persons who joined us on this course today.
We really learned a lot , Gerhard Landman and his team are excellent course facilitators. Dwandzani is really a great training centre and the shooting range is excellent.
The whole set-up is professional and visitor friendly. I really want to make use of this opportunity to thank Gerhard Landman and his team for their professional conduct during this course.
To all the participants, thank you guys it really is much appreciated that you made time and effort to participate in this course.

Very nice looking facility there. What distance were you shooting? It looks quite short.
Were any longer-distance targets shot .. like 50 meters to 100 meters?

Re: Black powder competency -Witbank/Middelburg area
In this competency it is expected to shoot three projectiles from five to fifteen meters into the target. I think this is more about your competency to handle, load/re-load and work with black powder rifles and powder instead of shooting long distances...I myself , did learn more than a few new things regarding the black powder shooting...
