Safety First at Shooting Range
When last did you fire that handgun which has been in your safe for the past few years, and how old is that ammunition?
Well if you, like many other gun owners in the Helderberg, can't remember when last you fired your handgun or how old your ammunition is, your worries are over.
Gordon's Bay Security has an indoor shooting range in Gordon's Bay next to Gordon's Bay Fisheries in Link Road.
The shooting tunnel and roof are build with double thick concrete blocks with sound proof material in between them. At the end of the tunnel is a bullet catcher and in front of this is a rubber curtain to stop ricochets.
The floor is constructed of a meter thick sand and clay to further ensure safety. Targets are operated electronically by the shooter themselves, who can determine the distance that they want to shoot at. The public is welcome to use the shooting range at a fee of R150 per half hour, during which shooters can shoot as many rounds as they want. Bookings are essencial. (0218560214)
There are five lanes in the tunnel which allows five shooters to shoot at a time.
The Range is SABS Accredited.
(No.: AZC 2004/04)
The range is open from 08:00 to 16:30 weekdays
Bookings for Saturdays to be done 2 days before the time and no less than 3 people.
