Firearm training generally falls into two areas: competency certification and practical shooting skills.
Competency training is the legal requirement for firearm ownership in South Africa, while skills training focuses on developing real shooting ability and confidence.
Required for firearm ownership
Competency training is the legal requirement before applying for a firearm licence in South Africa.
This course covers firearm law, safe handling, and practical shooting assessments required for certification.
This is the starting point for responsible firearm ownership.
Practical skills development
Skills training focuses on improving practical shooting ability.
These sessions help develop firearm control, accuracy, confidence, and defensive shooting techniques.
Skills training is typically completed after competency certification.
