Western Cape Field Archery Championships 2007 Thank you to the archers who attended this years event. The Sunday was a bit muggy from higher humidity but generally two great days. On the Saturday, Mike Dohloff in the AMFU started of with as good 513 and took and outright lead against the second placed Marco Pellis on 505. On the Sunday Mike did not shoot the scores he is use to but still managed to stay ahead and beat off the field, ending ahead in first places with a total of 1005 over the two days. John Stevens, who changed from pins to a scope, showed excellent improvement from previous scores, moving him into second place on an overall 995. Our Protea club visitor Dr.Selwyn Moskowitz was close behind on a 987. A new archer at the range, who only shot on the Sunday, scored an impressive 517 – well done Jeremy Augustus – hope you will be a regular.
In the Juniors JMFU, Craig Stevens (who had just had his birthday and moved up from cubs) shot an exciting 463, placing the second placed Benji just behind on 444. But the jump to junior was a bit hectic and on the second day Craig had his first experience of target panic. This caused him to drop significantly in score and opened the door for Benji v Buuren to win the two days on a total of 908. He was followed by Rudi Pentz in second and Craig ending in third.
In the Cubs style it was the two van Niekerk boys against each other. William, the older brother, could only shoot on the Sunday (had a hockey commitment) and therefore Nicholas, who shot good steady scores on both days, was the Title winner on a total 984.
In the AMBU style, Danie Barnardo showed his great form again. He shot a 524 on day one with his closest rival being Dirk v Niekerk on 513. On day two Dirk had gotten back into his shooting rhythm and posted a solid 520 – but Danie had pulled out all stops and came in with a 533 giving him the WCFAC BU Champion title on a total score of 1057 with Dirk on 1033. Not too far behind came Stephen du Toit with 1000 points. In the BL Johnie Hunt posted 493 and 470, not his best but good scores for a fingers shooter giving him the WCFAC BL title.
