Turn right onto the R307 and proceed for about 2km. You will see a sign on the left side of the road indicating a turning to the right. Turn right onto the road to the SANDF shooting range. The Military Range is at the end of this short road. Drive past the Military Club House where the tarred road becomes a gravel road. Continue for about 500m until you reach a gate on your left side. Turn left through the gate and you will see the Founders range on your right. You will need to report to the Range Manager or one of the duty Range Officers and sign in, after which you will receive your shooting sticker before being allowed to shoot.

The Range is set in the historic Glencairn Quarry which has long since reverted back to nature, presenting beautiful, sheer cliff faces of over 200 meters in height, looking out to a seascape that encompasses the entire False Bay which is arguably the most idyllic and picturesque setting and largest back-stop any shooting range could hope for!
