Aan die einde van 2015 het ons so baie om voor dankbaar te wees. SAARA is 'n skiet organisasie wat amper soos 'n familie optree. Ons is baie lief vir mekaar, maar ons kan baie lekker stry.
Soos enige familie het ons ook hoogte punte. SAARA het hierdie jaar weer menige hoogte punte gehad met verskeie rekords wat geskiet is, nuwe persoonlike bestes en nuwe uitdagings wat oorkom is. Ongelukkig het ons ook hartseer gehad met die afsterwe van geliefdes. Daar is ook van ons skietfamilie wat persoonlike krisisse gehad het. Ons het hoogtepunte van die Duitsland toer gehad maar ook die terleurstelling van die gekanselleerde Egipte Afrika Kampioenskap toer. Ek voel egter dat al hierdie uitdagings ons as 'n skietorganisasie net sterker maak.
Om vorentoe te kyk na 2016 maak my baie opgewonde. Ons het 'n baie sterk bestuursspan wat deur die provinsies ondersteun word, ons het 'n toegewyde en gemotiveerde ouerkorps. Die bestaansrede vir SAARA is ons baie hardwerkende skuts. Oud of jonk, julle skuts is die voort bestaan van SAARA. Dit is duidelik dat ons baie het om voor dankbaar te wees en dat hierdie die gepaste tyd is om vir mekaar te sê hoef lief jy hulle het en hoe dankbaar ons is dat ons verlosser Jesus Christus gebore is. Ons glo almal dat alles wat ons is, word deur die Here bepaal en dat ons maar net instrumente in sy liefdevolle hande is.
My wens aan julle almal is dat julle die beste instrumente kan wees wat julle kan. Mag 2015 vir julle vol liefde eindig en 2016 net vol vreugde wees.
Shalom
Frans Botha

At the Oldenburg Competition 4 countries participated namely: Sweden, Great Britain, Germany and South Africa. The new electronic targets and big screen display were introduced and the experience was amazing.
Our shooters did well and Neil Oosthuizen went through to the final with a score of 605.6. He walked away with the Gold medal for the 10m Jun men Olympic event after a gruelling final. Well done Neil. One of our men’s teams entered also managed to receive the second place in the team event. Congratulations to Neil, Carl and Richard.
The Grand Prix was a men’s and ladies’ combined event (60 shots) and Anzelle Booyens won the Silver medal with a score of 608.9. Well done Anzelle! Surprisingly, Gold, Silver and Bronze were won by the ladies.
The International Shooting Contest of Hannover was a much bigger event and attended by many countries. The SAARA team competed against some very famous medallists. The atmosphere on the shooting range was charged and stressful but our young team kept their cool and made the most of the international exposure. Valuable lessons were learned and they enjoyed the high standard of the range and the competition.
Anzelle and Dominique sneaked up on the famous medallist Jen McIntosh and managed to get a few words in and pose for a photo!
Our juniors are still young and participated under immense pressure. We are very proud of them and they walk away from this tour with many lessons learned and new goals. They were excellent ambassadors and did us proud. A word of thanks to their parents and coaches who helped them achieve their best and made it possible for them to attend this tour.
