Welcome to the home of tactical shooting, where skill meets tactics and camaraderie flourishes. At our small yet dynamic sport shooting club, we embrace the essence of practical equipment and tactical shooting. Our focus isn’t just on hitting targets on timer but on mastering the art of utilizing cover effectively, making accurate hits, and continually honing our abilities as shooters.

Founded by Gideon Joubert, our club stands as a testament to the passion for excellence in shooting sports. With a keen eye for innovation, Gideon has paved the way for a discipline that goes beyond traditional sports shooting. Together with a dedicated team of contributors including Michael Nigrini, Robert Fourie, Jordy Smit, and Glen Fourie, we continuously push the boundaries of what it means to engage in tactical shooting.

At our core, we prioritize the development of our members as skilled shooters over the pursuit of trophies and medals. While recognition is appreciated, our true measure of success lies in the journey each shooter takes towards improvement. Gamesmanship is discouraged as we believe in fostering an environment where integrity, sportsmanship, and respect reign supreme.

Officially endorsed by the Somerset West Pistol Club (SWPC) and sanctioned by the South African Tactical Shooting Association (SATSA), our club adheres to the highest standards of safety, fairness, and professionalism. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or a novice enthusiast, you’ll find a welcoming community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for practical shooting.

Vision of Spectre Tactical Shooting

is to develop a fraternity of responsible firearm owners which strives to possess superior knowledge, skill and proficiency within the realm of
practical defensive shooting.

Spectre differs from other shooting sports in that participants must use firearms that are fit for purpose pertaining to real world applications. Therefore the use of heavily-modified and highly-specialized firearms intended to give competitive advantages, but that have no practical
application outside the purist sporting context, are discouraged.

Spectre strives towards high standards of proficiency in the accuracy and speed aspects of shooting, while simultaneously focusing on the correct application of appropriate tactics during a competitive course of fire.

The Spirit of Spectre Tactical Shooting

is the competitive simulation of real-world
scenarios which encourage the use of proven and realistic skills and tactics.

Scenario-based courses of fire are supported by an adaptable scoring system that rewards positive results
instead of pure sporting goals.

Focus in this regard emphasizes higher standards of
accuracy whilst observing the important factor of time-efficiency

The Goal of Spectre Tactical Shooting

activities is to develop and improve practical
proficiency through competitive shooting activities.

Our central pillar is constant self-improvement of the shooter through their development of knowledge, skills, and mindset.

This development is encouraged through regular participation in Spectre activities, which allows competitors to benchmark themselves against others as well as against their own past performance.
