Re: SA Wingshooters worth joining?
This is such vital information. I think it's so very important that we limit the amount that organisations and individuals are able to take advantage of our fellow shooters just because they're new to the sport. On that, might be putting together a small guinea shoot in Lanseria next year on and around the family plaas. I'll keep spots open for GS shooters, but I'll confirm closer to the time.

Re: SA Wingshooters worth joining?
Your comments and views are not fair at all. Here's why and these statements are actually factual:
1. SA Wingshooters Association is a registered non-profit organisation and is a SAPS accredited Hunting & Sport Shooting association primarily. All their shoot venues are as an extra membership benefit, etc. so shoot venues are not the main reason people join;
2. Of all their shoot venues, only one or two venues are run/managed by shoot captains. There is a simple reason – the shooting rights to these venues were obtained from the landowner on condition that there will be a shoot captain present at all times, as the landowner does not want any person shooting or trespassing on his land without supervision. Many indiscriminate hunters also leave dead birds and spent shell cases lying about, and shoot captains prevent this from happening almost 100% of the time;
3. Shoot captains at SA Wingshooters are regular voluntary members, who offer up their time to host a shoot venue for other members. I cannot see why they should not get a small fee for their service? Do you work for free?
4. The SA Wingshooters offer all types of shooting, from free pigeon and dove shoots, to upland gamebird and waterfowl venues and shoots that cost money, depending on what the farmer wants to charge. It all depends on the level of what a member is looking for regarding service, guidance, food, accommodation, etc.
5. Of more than 200 venues country-wide, and more that 2000 combined shooting days offered, only two (2) venues are run by shoot captains – at the demand/instruction of the land owner.
So, members of SA Wingshooters can enjoy wingshooting in all provinces, from FREE OF CHARGE up to R4500.00 per weekend per gun, all dependent on what he/she wants. There are venues to suit everyone. SA Wingshooters Association does not receive one cent income from any of the shoots hosted and all is offered for member benefit. These are the facts, and not opinion.
