shotguns and a 100m range for rifles. There is a reloading
centre, where two experts handle the ammunition and
offer training, and you can rent a bench with reloading
equipment at the shooting range. In addition, there is
an exclusive Beretta shotgun lounge on-site, the first
of its kind on the African continent. Here, customers
can have their own Beretta shotgun custom built.

What makes this store really stand out is the wealth
of experience and knowledge of its team; the owner
has over 26 years in the firearm and shooting industry.
Senior management all have a minimum of nine
years of experience each, and all employees undergo
rigorous training despite any previous experience. On
the shooting range, you will find accredited tactical
instructors. They are there to ensure safety protocols
are met at all times and offer training and advice.

“Recreational shooting, hunting, sports shooting and
protection – we have specialists in every department,”
explains Marthinus. “This is one of the biggest drawcards
of Waterfall Arms & Outdoor. It is a completely
interactive shop with highly-trained professional staff
who can discuss anything from the latest footwear
trends to what ammunition to use. You will struggle
to find a question we do not have the answer to.”

Since the opening of the store, Waterfall Arms & Outdoor
has had clients from all walks of life – young, old, and from
all ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In fact, their clients
hail from all over South Africa. “Most people who visit just
love the outdoors,” says Marthinus. “Some clients come
and shoot the demos in their lunch break. We even have
clients from Durban who have a new firearm and want to
learn how to use it correctly and safely.
