August 14, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Simon's Town (Afrikaans: Simonstad), sometimes spelled Simonstown, is a town near Cape Town, South Africa, which is home to the South African Navy. It is located on the shores of False Bay, on the eastern side of the Cape Peninsula. For more than two centuries it has been a naval base and harbour (first for the Royal Navy and now the South African Navy). The town is named after Simon van der Stel, an early governor of the Cape Colony.

What a location ....first class establishment, all instruction was of the highest quality. As a member of HM Forces I have been involved with firearms for the last 40 years....the range practises were delivered in the safest manner that you would expect from such professional staff. Jonathan was the calmest easy going instructor that I could have wished for seeing that neither my wife or son had ever held let lone fired a Glock 17 Before. Just a great family thing to do and enjoy
