Sports adventure shooting - Mpumalanga

[GVC86]

Hi guys/gals,

Its been a few months since we visited Camo and co at funky town. For those of you who do not know, we are in the process of starting a sas chapter in mpumalanga with the guidance of the "founding fathers". I am happy to give an update on the progress we made in mpu.

We have found a range where we can do combatives and handgun/shotgun work, just outside middelburg. Today we had our first meet and shoot to discuss sas, the 4 of us (Me, Leroy, Abrie and Kevin) will be getting things off of the ground here

We still need to get a venue where we can do our Levels, 3 possible venues have been identified and meetings will be arranged with the owners.

Stay tuned...

Cheers
George

UPDATE:

Hi guys/gals,

Just a quick update into the happenings in MP.

We held our first fun shoot in December last year with three of the GP sas guys attending. (Cordite Crazy, Herbert and Karl thanks a million for your help guys)

It was mainly held to give the interested parties a look into what sas is about, and exposing them to different shooting platforms.

The GP guys gave us a demonstration of the sas favourite, combatives, and everyone willing had a go.
We also did some pistol drills, a mini multi gun course and some safe weapons handling training for the green horns.

All in all it was a good day.

2016 has started off slowly for is in MP, with only one member attending the January qualifications in GP. Congrats to John-Hendry for being the first MP member qualifying for L3.

Tonight the first official sas MP meeting will be held to discuss the challenges we face in getting the ball rolling, with the most important issues being:
1. Finding a suitable range for level qualifications
2. 2016 calender

Thanks for following and if there is anyone interested in joining sas MP feel free to drop me a mail at

george.sas.mpu(at)gmail.com

We are also desperately looking for a range/farm willing to host us in mpumalanga any contact details will be much appreciated.

Cheers
George

On May 14th we plan a mass exodus to GP to get our members qualified, note this is dependant on whether we procure our own level qualification venue or not.

Hi guys/gals,

As per this thread

http://www.gunsite.co.za/forums/showthread.php?t=70880

Sas Mp has a venue!

Due to the nature of the agreement with the landowner we will not be able to put up a calendar (or follow the one posted above), but will try our best to put up notification here early in the month. Though our practice days should be near the end of the month.

Thanks
George

Hi guys/gals,

Sas mpu will have our next shoot on the 23/4/2016.

We will do a level 1, some basic pistol drills and combatives. Then we might even shoot a gong at 600m if time permits.

Cheers
George
