Responsible Precision and Indoor Target Shooting at Simms Arms.
When travelling along the South Coast, curated experiences often mean coastal dining or ocean adventures, but true luxury lies in discovering unexpected craftsmanship and dedicated local passion. Tucked into Uvongo Centre, Simms Arms presents a refined, highly educational look into precision marksmanship and sports shooting. Owned and operated by Heidi and her family, this facility stands out not just for its indoor range, but for its genuine commitment to safety, hands-on instruction, and community support.
A Foundation Built on Education and Safety
Walking through the doors, we were immediately struck by the calm, structured atmosphere. Rather than an overwhelming or intimidating space, Simms Arms focuses heavily on education and strict safety protocols long before anyone enters the range.
The team guided us through foundational safety, local legislation, and equipment handling with patience and thorough expertise.
Every step of the process is closely supervised by accredited range officers, making it an extraordinarily reassuring environment for both beginners and seasoned shooters alike.
On the Range: A Controlled and Engaging Experience
Stepping into their six-lane indoor shooting facility, the hands-on instruction truly set the experience apart. Guided step-by-step, Judd and I spent time learning proper technique across various platforms, from standard training sidearms to dynamic .22 rimfire and PCC target setups.
The range officer remained right beside us, explaining sight alignment, grip, and trigger control. Watching the precision required for target grouping was captivating, and my own target results were a testament to how clear and encouraging the coaching was throughout the session.
Craftsmanship and Community Heart
Beyond the range itself, Simms Arms operates as a full-service centre for enthusiasts and local forces. Heidi shared how they support the South Coast community by opening their facilities to local security teams and law enforcement for ongoing proficiency training. From custom wood stock builds crafted in-house to specialised Cerakote protective finishes and secure long-term storage, the depth of skill under one roof is remarkable. They even foster a lighthearted side through structured member nights, proof that responsible marksmanship can coexist with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
An Unconventional Group Destination
For couples, friend groups, or families looking to learn a new skill grounded in focus, discipline, and absolute safety, an afternoon at Simms Arms offers an engaging departure from the typical coastal itinerary. It is an experience rooted in respect for the sport, expertly guided from start to finish.
We would like to say a special thank you to Simms Arms and their entire amazing team for an unforgettable and incredible experience.
