Namibian archers excel at African Champs - Submitted by Helge Schutz, 14/04/2006
A Namibian Invitational archery team excelled at the African Target Shooting Championships and the South African Archery Championships which took place in Cape Town on April 1-3, 2006. Namibia's team of seven archers won a total of 14 medals as well as five additional prizes.
A total of 111 archers from three countries South Africa, Namibia and Mauritius participated in the championships.
Gold medals at SA nationals
At the South African National Championships, Namibia's juniors did particularly well. Dirk Bockmuhl won the gold medal in the Junior Mens Under 18 category, while Henk van Blerk won the gold medal in the Cadet Boys Under 16 category. In the same category Namibias Francois Marais won silver and Oliver Rohrmuller won bronze.
Raimund Rohrmuller also won gold in the Boys Under 13 category.
Jan van Blerk came 9th overall in the senior mens category.
African Champs
Namibia then entered two teams that participated among 14 others in the African Target Shooting Championships. Team 1 consisted of Jan van Blerk, Dirk Bockmuhl and Heiko Redecker, while Team 2 consisted of Henk van Blerk (14 years), Francois Marais (14) and Oliver Rohrmuller (13).
Team 1 was soon eliminated, but Team1 excelled to beat the senior men and womens teams of Western Province, as well as Mpumalangas senior mens team to progress to the finals. Here the Namibian junior team eventually lost to the senior mens team of Gauteng to finish fourth.
Van Blerk wins gold
Namibias results in the individual categories at the African Championships were as follows:
Junior Men Under 18: Dirk Bockmuhl 2 silver medals.
Cadet Boys Under 16: Henk van Blerk gold, Francois Marais silver, Heiko Redecker bronze.

SKW Archery had a successfull competition day on sunday March 7, 2010.
For the first time our beginners took part in such a competition. The distances were kept at a minimum for the beginners, according to their ability, and we actually saw that for the next competition, we can start to put them under a little more pressure by increasing the distances, as they did quite well, also under adverse windy conditions.
The two archers with the least experience had to shoot at a distance of only 15 m, which proved to be only a very slight challenge to them. For the next competition, these two definitely will have to be put under more pressure by increasing their distances. Iris Sanner scored a remarkable 678 points, with extremely consistant groupings (including one unexpected zip), while Marja Woortman achieved a satisfying 601 points.
Alexander Sanner, and under twelve archer beginner at 15 m scored 595 points. Archery fittnes played a major role, and he can perform much better in future.
The two more advanced "women beginers", Kerstin Henckert and Silke Beiter both shot well at a distance of 30 m. Kerstin posted a score of 644 points, while Silke shot a good 604 points.
Detlef Heimstädt also a beginner who started archery only this year, at a distance of 30 m was satisfied with 598 points.
Cub Tiaan Grobler (12 years old) was competing at a distance of 30 m, posting a very good score of 662 points. That is a score to aim at!!!
The adult men had to face the very inconsistent and strong windy conditions to shoot at 70 meters: Results were as follows: Rudi Woortman (572), Hannes Cocklin (636), Dirk Bockmühl (645), Francois Marais (652).
Women Compound Theresa Grobler shot a 566 at 70 m.
Cadet Christof Schaum,also at 70 m achieved 565 points.
Judging was done by Frank Bockmühl.

SKW Archery - 2010 National Target Archery Championships
The 2010 National Target Archery Championships in Namibia was held from 18 to 20 June 2010 in Windhoek. On Friday the 18th June the range opened in the afternoon for official practice. A Fita Round was shot on Saturday 19th June as preparation for the final day, when a 70 m Round followed by an Individual elimination according to the Set System was shot. A very tough programme, but as archers have to travel for up to 500 km to attend this competition, as much archery as possible is put into the programme. This annual event is drawing more competitors each year, and for this small Association, to have up to 40 archers on the shooting line is quite an achievement. Age groups from under twelve years through to the two Masters Men participated. New to archery in Namibia was the participation of two recurve archers. Hopefully this trend will continue.
For the first time competition was controlled by electronic timing, with countdown visible on two screens on the 25 m mark. Judging was done by Mrs Rita Schenk. After several days of extremely windy conditions, Diana took control of the weather and calm, cool conditions resulted in pleasant shooting. Combined with the superb range lay-out, a successful tournament was guaranteed.
Photo’s and results will be published on Facebook: “Archery in Namibia”
