As a change from vineyards lunches, Harry wanted to do something completely different and sends the following report -
"23 February 2010

A pleasant hour and a half with Sebastian of Shootopia - http://www.shootopia.com/
at the Stellenbosch shooting range where I made holes in a paper target and demolished some blocks of wood and bricks.

The tools used were several Taurus revolvers; - http://www.taurususa.com/

.38 special, 4” barrel, .357 Magnum, .357 snub nose, .44 Magnum (of Dirty Harry 'make my day, punk!' fame), and a .454 Casull 'Raging Bull' – one bigggg mother!.

Pistols included a Sig Sauer 9mm, and a Glock .40 caliber.

I was pleasantly surprised to find I could still hit the target and actually managed a 5 cm group with the .357 Magnum.


I'd never shot Trap before but totally destroyed a clay or two.

I had so much fun that I went back a few days later to try the 38s in double action mode, which is more difficult to maintain accuracy because of the effort required to pull the trigger. I also made a 5 cm group with a Colt .45 which impressed me."
