Email scam using the SA Archer as the sender.
Someone using the email address SA Archer has sent an email out asking people to sign in with their email details to view an important document. This is an obvious phishing site and has nothing to do with our sport or the SA Archer. Best you send that mail into the trash. SANAA or the SA Archer would never ask for your user name and password! Besides that, our editor knows how to spell!

An Invitation to the National Archery Indaba (1 June 2013)
With the introduction of the Provincial Sports Confederations (PSC), the requirements of the demarcation board and the SA National Archery Association taking up the role of the National Federation, a number of questions need to be addressed and answered. Some of them affect the sport directly. For example, if there are two provincial archery associations in one geographical province, how does the PSC get to have one representative that speaks for all? Some affect individuals. For example how and who can earn provincial, national and Protea Colours. On a macro scale, we have to consider how our sport can grow within the framework of our sports authorities. Does this mean that we will have to create new provincial archery associations, where representatives of all archery associations have a say?

Three new national archery coaches appointed
Alex Folscher and Klaus Schnack from Western Province and Herman Roux from North Gauteng each spent a tense twenty minutes demonstrating not only their coaching skills but also some of the new teaching techniques they had learned during the week long training course, to two adjudicators. The course, presented by the NCC's Grant Gammon and Alan Weyers, started last week on Monday morning and each day was spent in the classroom and on the range at Marks Park. The course is presented on the World Archery curriculum for Level 1 coaching and fully covers the skills techniques and know-how for successfully coaching new archers and helping them develop their abilities on a sound and proven foundation. All three Level 1 Coach candidates passed the evaluation with flying colours and with the recommendations of the NCC's, their appointment was confirmed by the SANAA executive. SANAA congratulates the new coaches on their achievement and their commitment to help build the archery coaching capability in South Africa.

KZN Repeats its successes with a 2nd 2013 Beginners Course
The second beginners course of 2013 presented by Kings Park Archery Club ended last week with all 23 participants smiling broadly. From the oldest to the youngest (who was really rather tiny but with enormous heart) the comments were the same; “so enjoyable”, “greatest fun”, “where do I sign up”. In short; a very good time was had by all. The KPAC Beginners Course has remained a very popular event over the years and has in fact grown in the past three years. Up to 23 participants can be accommodated per session and two session can be scheduled for a Saturday. The course is run over three Saturdays, a session lasts around two hours, and there is a mini competition, ranking round and eliminations, in the last session. The result is a great deal of excitement and competing for the “medals” which in this case is a large chocolate, a medium chocolate and a small chocolate and for competitors who do not eat chocolate they may donate their winnings to the coaches.

Under 15 Archers Reach New Levels, now new targets
At the recent National Championships, our under 15 development archers showed us how good they could be, by shooting excellent scores. So, at the annual congress, the Council decided to make tournaments just that little bit more challenging by changing the U15 Compound archers targets to a 6-ring at 40m and the U15 Recurve Archers to a 80cm target face at 40m. The changes come into immediate effect for the 720 round.

The Archery World Converges On Yankton World’s Top Archers Set To Compete
JEREMY HOECK of the Yankton Daily reports: Loet Smit is a newcomer to the Yankton archery scene, but the native South African has seen plenty of other such facilities around the world. So when he piles on the compliments for the Easton Yankton Archery Complex during his second-ever visit to the United States, the International Field Archery Association (IFAA) president speaks with some authority. “The complex here is fantastic; one of the best you’ll find,” Smit, of Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, said this week, between preparations for the IFAA World Indoor Archery Championship this weekend in Yankton. The first round begins Friday morning at 10 a.m. “I’ve never seen one like this where you can shoot this far inside.” In all, the tournament will feature between 150-200 archers from nearly 10 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and the United States.
