As well as Theo Heyns who is 7 years of age to our archery family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently our league shoots are running between 3D and Field. We will be hosting our Field Nationals in July of this year. This event will be held in Mkushi, hosted by the Mkushi Archery Club. The 3D Nationals will be held in October of this year in Lusaka, hosted by the Lusaka Archery Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ifaa-archery.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zambia-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ifaa-archery.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zambia-2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.ifaa-archery.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zambia-2-480x350.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 960px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2 ranges in use for our events are, one in Lusaka at Shimbololo near Lusaka, run by our coach Richard Monge (this is the range that the ARFAC was held at in 2019).&nbsp; Our second range is in Mkushi behind Agrico, currently managed by Simon Elton.

We have seen many of our current archers achieving higher scores in all events as well as scoring their personal best. We are delighted to have some of our members participating in an online coaching session on the 15<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;of May . This will give us a huge advantage moving forward, to help improve our own archers as well as coach new participants in Zambia. This will surely also improve archery in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ifaa-archery.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zambia-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ifaa-archery.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zambia-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ifaa-archery.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zambia-1-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.ifaa-archery.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Zambia-1-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Visit our Facebook page to read more about Zambian Archery <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1555690374733614\/\">Zambia Archery | Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gustav Wessels<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archery is taking off in Zambia!
