TuksArchery Winter Challenge 2015

Posted on August 21, 2015

The TuksArchery Winter Challenge was held at the TuksArchery Range on the UP Sports Campus. Over the weekend of the 8-9th of August 2015. 


The weather was unusually warm for winter, skies were clear and the wind only picked up on the Sunday afternoon. 


More than 80 dedicated archers from 18 different categories participated in the 720 round and elimination shoots in this event. With the large turnout of participants, a double detail shooting line was shot at both the 720 and eliminations on Saturday. On Sunday it was changed back to a single detail shooting line. 
After the 720 round shooting on Saturday, the real competition started with the elimination rounds in the afternoon. With all the category eliminations happening at the same time, a total of 6 rounds of matches took place on the Saturday and a further 5 rounds on the SUnday, before the winners were announced.
Congratulation to the following Tuks archers for their achievements:
