Special achievements

Jean Engelbrecht and
Hendrik Engelbrecht was from our province.
It was the first time in history that members from our province won any medals at a World Shoot.
Our Handgun Standard Division Team, consisting of Justin Peacock, J.C. Potgieter, Kyle van Deventer, and Johannes van Biljon, made history in 2022 by winning the
Racing Snake Trophy with a first-place finish in the Standard Division. This marked the first time that MPSA secured this prestigious trophy.
In 2025, our Standard Division Team won the trophy once again. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement and for continuing to make MPSA proud.
