Established in 1967, the Somerset West Pistol Club has proudly served the Helderberg community for over fifty years, becoming the premier choice for professional sport shooters, hobbyists, and security personnel. Nestled in the scenic hills above Sir Lowry's Pass Road since 1977, the club offers breathtaking views of Somerset West, Strand, and Gordon's Bay.

The club boasts an impressive array of facilities and shooting disciplines, catering to the diverse needs of its members and visitors. Whether you're a seasoned professional honing your skills, a hobbyist enjoying the sport, or a security professional seeking advanced training, our club provides an exceptional and supportive environment. With its rich history, stunning location, and commitment to excellence, the club continues to be a beloved institution in the community, dedicated to fostering a passion for shooting sports while maintaining the highest standards of safety and camaraderie.

Club Objectives

The club is managed by an executive committee, elected annually by our members, with the mission to provide and maintain top-notch facilities and perform all auxiliary functions. This ensures that members can run and develop various shooting disciplines according to their needs and interests.

To promote and encourage all firearm shooting disciplines and the legal use of firearms, the club hosts weekly shooting events at both club and provincial levels throughout the year. Additionally, our facilities are available to accredited training institutions, supporting the general public with competency training and further education in the safe and effective use of firearms. By offering these resources and opportunities, and through our associations and affiliations with other shooting organizations, the club remains committed to fostering a vibrant shooting community while upholding the highest standards of safety and excellence.
