Sports
This club is for anyone interested in archery, regardless of skill. We will meet once a week to go to a nearby archery range to practice and will participate in optional tournaments around the state. The archery range, Adam's Archery, will provide free recurve bows for training and also sells recurve and compound bows. ---Frequently Asked Questions--- Do I need any archery experience? Nope! Archery Club is open to all staff and students regardless of skill level. Whether you’ve never held a bow before, shot in summer camp once, or already compete, the club is for you! Many of our members were brand new to archery before joining.Do I need my own equipment? Feel free to bring your own compound, recurve, or olympic recurve if you already have one, but it’s NOT necessary! If you don’t have your own equipment, free recurve rental is available at the range, as well as several club owned bows are available for use.How do I join? Send an email to archeryclub-requests@umich.edu to get more information, meeting times, and to be put on our mailing list! We send out practice and carpool sign ups through this email list, so you must be on it. JOINING OUR MAIZE PAGES ROSTER DOES NOT GET YOU ONTO OUR MAILING LIST, TO JOIN YOU MUST EMAIL archeryclub-requests@umich.edu.How much does it cost? Your first two practices are free! After that, if you decide Archery Club is for you then dues are $70 per semester, or pay by practice. These dues include bow rental, range time, and transportation to and from the range.When are practices? How do I get to practice? We practice on Monday and Wednesday evenings, from about 7:00 until about 9:00, more or less depending on attendance, however the range is a little under half an hour off campus, so carpools meet at 6:30 and will get back to campus around 9:30. Some members go out for food and to socialize after practice (this is optional but highly encouraged!) If you want to carpool you can sign up to be a driver or to ride with someone. The sign up sheet is sent out weekly to our mailing list, so be sure to email archeryclub-requests@umich.edu to be added!What if I can only make it to a few practices? What is your attendance and due-paying policy in this situation? If you wish to stay after your free practices but you’re worried about being able to come regularly, we offer a pay-by-practice alternative. Instead of paying dues, you will be paying a smaller fee per practice you attend. While this pay-by-practice program does not grant you the full Archery Club membership, such as t-shirts and participation in collegiate competitions, it is more economically-suited for those who can only come out to a few practices each semester.Do you compete? We compete against each other in low pressure internal competitions for fun, and most people keep score during practices to track their progress. Some members also compete in local, state, and national events and we’re currently working on offering more competitive opportunities for those serious through the club. Competitions and scoring are optional.Are you part of any other organizations? Archery Club is a part of USA Archery and NFAA Archery as a collegiate club, and a member of MET, a local archery organization.
