Maccauw Clay Target club, formerly known as Maccauw Gun Club, is one of the oldest clay target clubs in South Africa. Established in 1960 when a well-known trap shooter of the Sandiacres Gun Club in Kimberley convinced a number of “shotgunners” from Bloemfontein that the sport had a future. The twin brothers Van Tonder, founding members of the club, made land available to the north of Bloemfontein on their farm, Tafelkop. There the first DTL range was built and a tradition of shooting trap every Saturday – come rain or shine – was born. Soon membership grew along with the interest in other disciplines and Olympic trap and Olympic skeet ranges were added in the seventies. DTL shooters made up the bulk of the membership and the club became one of the most active trap clubs in the country. The club has produced numerous highly competitive provincial and national shooters in all disciplines over the years. Neels Bornman, who represented South Africa at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games in the Olympic Trap discipline, was from the then Maccauw Gun Club.
