With Multi-discipline Sport Shooting (MDS) members participate in an active shooting activity with an emphasis on everyday equipment. Currently it is shot only with handguns but to be expanded in future to include semi-automatic shotguns and rifles (modern self-loading rifles).










The shooting competitions create the opportunity for members to compete at regional and national level in realistic scenarios. Regional rankings are created for each one of these competitions on the SA Hunters member administration system. Members that qualify for the national competitions participate annually to determine the top shottists in each discipline.
MDS exercises are not standardised and differ from range to range and from competition to competition.
At branch shooting events the aim is for everyone to have fun on condition that the safety rules are adhered to.The hunting exercises can be shot without the rule restrictions, e.g., using shooting sticks where normally not allowed, coaching a person, shooting with a smaller calibre than required for the exercise, and shooting the exercise more than once.
All training, especially shooting training at SA Hunters branches, is mentor-based and takes place at the shooting range. SA Hunters branches manage more than 100 shooting ranges across South Africa, giving members access to a shooting range at every branch where formal and informal shooting activities are offered. With more than 700 official branch shooting days per annum, there are plenty opportunities available for basic shooting training at the branches on request.
Competent sport shooters at branch, regional, and national level are available on request to advise and train new sport shooters.
The MDS discipline is only offered at branches where the following are in place:
