Archers strut their stuff
Local archers competed in the second indoor archery championships held at Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) last weekend.
Archery in Namibia is growing from strength to strength, with the recent indoor archery championship hosted by the organising committee together with Hemco Paints, producing thrilling wins.
“In the recurve barebow class, we might soon see new rising star Lutz Wahlers participating internationally.
“A well-known name in archery circles, Francois Marais also attended the shoot, amongst a number of newcomers since indoor archery was introduced in Namibia as a world archery discipline of target archery last year,” said Christo Brandt from Archery Namibia.
The results were as follows:
Compound boys' under-13: Wessel du Plessis (gold) and Marcel Imhof (silver).
Compound girls' u-13: Mia Karsten (gold).
Compound boys' u-13: Christiaan Delport (gold) and Franco van Zyl (silver).
Compound cadet men: Manuel de Rebeira (gold), Paul Jordaan (silver) and Danie Delport (bronze).
Compound junior men: JP Viljoen (gold), Cobus Barnard (silver) and Jaco Becker (silver).
Compound master men: Moritz Hoff (gold).
Recurve barebow men: Lutz Wahlers (gold).
Recurve women: Margot Louw (gold) and Nelleke Louw (silver).
Recurve junior men: Adriaan Grobler (gold) and CF Brandt (silver).
Compound men: Louw Nel (gold), Jannie Meuwesen (silver) and Dirkie de Bod Jr (bronze).
Compound women: Jacqueline Coetzee (gold), Bianca Karsten (silver) and Cecilia Brandt (bronze).
The next indoor archery event will be the Swakopmund year-end indoor shoot, hosted by the Swakopmund Archery Club on 21 December at the SFC grounds.
