Bio : I've been competing on the national circuit since Feb 2016. Oddly enough, most people will know me from Handgun shooting, but my first nationals was a Rifle match in Polokwane. Looking back on it now I laugh at how little I knew and how unprepared I was. I then persued handgun quite seriously and it became my priority for a few years, now I kind of juggle between the two with relative efficiency. 

I'm a Member of the Beretta Pro Team South Africa and I only run the Silver Rapids 147gr offering through my 92X Performance, from the start, it's never had anything else through the barrel and I've only had great results with them. 

I currently shoot 125gr Silver Rapids through my PCC, which has also proven to love the bullet heads. Accuracy over longer distances is easily achievable. 

What does being a "red cap" mean to me? - Being part of an accomplished team, standing amongst excellent shooters who represent Silver Rapids that portray the epitome of sportsmanship. Its not just about free bullet heads, you bond, become a family, care about your team mates even if they're your competition, you care about the brand and how its perceived by the competitors who are still in a deep sleep. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to represent Silver Rapids.

If you see any of the Red Caps on the range, and need some advice on which Silver Rapid bullet offering is right for you, come on over and have a chat with us or look for the Silver Rapids Gazebo at most Handgun Nationals and you can speak to the mad scientist himself, Gavin Brits
