Shooting skills training in South Africa falls into two main categories: Competency Training and Skills Building. At The Shooting Range, we offer both, providing our clients with a complete, structured shooting solution.
Competency Training focuses on the requirements you must complete before applying for a firearm license. It includes basic theory and practical shooting tests to ensure that a potential firearm owner can safely handle a firearm. More importantly, it is a legal requirement.
By passing your competency training, you show the authorities that you understand the laws related to firearm ownership. If you break the law, you cannot claim that you “did not know.”
Competency training should be your first step, but definitely not your last, on your firearm training journey.

Skills Training takes your shooting ability to the next level. As a firearm owner, this training helps you build the skills needed to use your firearm confidently and effectively in real situations. While it is not required by law, we believe it is a moral responsibility for every firearm owner.
Many firearm owners buy a gun, visit the range once a year, shoot a few rounds at a paper target, and consider their training complete. Unfortunately, this approach only wastes ammunition and creates a false sense of security.
Skills Training helps you take meaningful steps toward becoming fully proficient with your firearm.
