On Saturday, March 22, 2014, the Neandertal Kyudo Club once again hosted its friendly tournament at the gymnasium of the Gymnasium am Neandertal in Alt-Erkrath.

With guest archers from Aachen, Berlin, and Hamburg, six teams—each consisting of three archers—competed in the team competition. A unique feature of this tournament is the use of targets of different sizes: in addition to the standard 36-cm-diameter mato, each team also has a 30-cm- and a 24-cm-diameter target at its disposal.

After five rounds, Luise Markefka-Witaschek, Hannelore Heid-Dauner, and Günther Dauner secured the victory ahead of the team from Aachen (Ulla Haede, Nancy Neubert, Matthias Seidel) and another home team (Hans Heidecker, Josef Hoffmann, Michael Bracht).

In the individual competition, the three members of the winning team battled it out among themselves. With four out of four hits in the final round, Luise Markefka-Witaschek left her competitors no chance. Hannelore Heid-Dauner and Günther Dauner then had to compete in a shoot-off for second and third place. Hannelore Heid-Dauner prevailed over her husband with her first shot. As a result, the traveling trophies—in the form of Mega-Nuggets—once again remain with the host club.
