🪜 Why a Progression Ladder Matters
You wouldn’t start gym with deadlifts, right?
Same goes for shooting. At Mabali Sports Shooting Club, we believe in growing confidence step by step — not rushing into high-caliber firearms on Day 1.
Here’s our skill development path we use for beginners and even experienced guests looking to refine their fundamentals.
