WINDHOEK – A total of  73 archers inclusive of 44 juniors and 29 seniors converged at the St George’s shooting range in Windhoek, grilling each other for supremacy in the final the NASP shoot of the year competition on Saturday. 

Witnessing the lovely cool cloud cover while setting up the range on Friday, the next morning was chilly on registration time before the day turned boiling hot. 

Tummies were filled with an assortment of food and beverages from the makeshift tuck shop, keeping the energy levels high whilst making sure the spirits did not flag. 

Archers ranging from 4th graders to 12th graders shot three Bull’s Eye rounds and one 3D Animal round followed by the AAG shoot.
