Target Archery in South Africa

The South African National Archery Association (SANAA) is the national sports federation for target archery in South Africa. It is affiliated to a number of sporting bodies, including the international governing body FITA, SASCOC, the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee, and Archery South Africa.

 

The SANAA committee consists of Executive members and Representatives from the Provincial bodies. Through the national federation, our archers participate internationally. SANAA presents target events on a national level and indoor events on a provincial level. A wide variety of disciplines and equipment styles are catered for during National Championships.

Grant, in his capacity as National Coach will take responsibility for the compound archers and general team preparation.

Getting Started

If you want to take up archery, your first port of call should be your local club, where you will find experienced archers willing and able to help. There are SANAA affiliated clubs in all the provinces. You don’t need any equipment, as it will be supplied by the club. Try different sizes of bows and arrows and shooting different distances. Archers are always ready to share an opinion or some experience on what one may need. Once you have joined a club, you are invited to SANAA membership.

Voice your Opinion

Should the Nationals be held as a permanent venue at the High Performance Centre or should it rotate between the provinces? And then, should it be held over two or three days? Voice your opinion on the SANAA bulletin board.
