Sharpshooting, guns, reloading, and hunting the African plains are more than hobbies to me—they’re a deep passion rooted in precision and respect for nature. There’s unmatched satisfaction in reloading my own ammo, tweaking loads for pinpoint accuracy, and knowing every shot is the result of careful craftsmanship. On the range, I find focus and discipline; in the bushveld, I find purpose. Tracking kudu or impala across the vast plains tests patience, skill, and ethics. It’s not about trophies—it’s about the connection to the land, the challenge, and the respect for the game. Every hunt, every shot, fuels my love for this way of life.
