2025 SAARA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

25. 10. 12

The 2025 SAARA National Championship took place in Gauteng on 10 and 11 October 2025. We had a full programme with lots of entries, and we saw some excellent shooting with national records tumbling and many personal best scores.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the athletes and parents who supported the match, as well as to the Gauteng team, SAARA management team members, and sponsors whose contributions ensured the success of the event.

The final events featured outstanding performances, and the atmosphere was charged with anticipation due to several closely contested matches whose outcomes could not be predicted.

It was an honour to welcome Mr. Bennie van den Heever, President of SASSCo, to our match to observe our young athletes in action. We are privileged that he graciously agreed to present the trophies to our top performers of 2025.

The 2025 National champions for the various disciplines are:
