    (continued)
    Shooters and spectators started gathering for the Boer and Brit shoot. The rules are simple: 4 members per team, 16 falling plates at 100 m, standing position, no ammo limit, time from the command "fire", till the last plate is down. The "traditional" category specify iron sights (open or peep), whereas the "open" allows telescopic sights. Though it appears that you are competing against the team next to you, the real measure of performance is the time.

    The action was fast and furious, spectators cheered as their teams managed to topple the last plate. The contest between old rivals: "Buller's barstids" and "De Wet's Donders" was particularly lively. This time "Buller's barstids" beat De Wet's Donders by about 10 seconds. Eventually the event was won by the "Manne met 'n plan " commando - a group who came over from the BASA range and didn't think toppling falling plates with .416 Rigbys and .375 H&H's was too expensive!


    Now everybody gathered at the big tent. Juniors was handed their trophies, as the day was getting a bit long for the little ones.
    John Edmond got onto the stage and told us the story of brave Rhodesia's stand against the world. The audience loved it.
    On the fires the last touches was being added to the potjiekos, wors and sosaties.

    Then came the prize giving ceremony where the best achievements on all the ranges were acknowledged. ProAmm grouping shoot is the main event, and everyone shooting a group smaller than 18 mm, qualifies for the national championship to be held in October at the PMP shooting range.

    Tamboti Toyota Firearms Festival 2012 was over. It was only made possible by the hard work and dedication of more than 60 individuals, working for a common goal: "To celebrate firearm ownership!".
    The date for the next TTFF has been set: 31 August 2013
