Winning team BUCS 2012:
For those looking to take the sport more seriously we compete in a number of local and national competitions and tournaments across the country, the club is one of the top in the country. In 2011, our squad has been strengthened by having 2 top archers in the country, George Harding and Andrew Randall. Archers in the club greatly benifit from their coaching. Archery is currently one of the only sports clubs to give novices a chance to compete at tournaments separately to the experienced members, as we have a separate novice team made up entirely of new members to the sport. So even if you have not shot before you can be a part of the team. The regular competitions that we dominate year after year: BUTTS League , BUCS indoors & outdoors, BUTC, County shoots. We are able to take a large team to many of these competitions, so it's always worth havong a go!
These tournaments are a great opportunity to compete against students from other Universities as well as local clubs, and look great on a CV as a non-academic interest. Over the last year the club has won numerous medals and trophies, and the upcoming year will be your chance to add to the growing list of victories for the club.
Social events...
We are a highly sociable club and have numerous organised social events throughout the year, including anual Xmas fun shoot, bowling, ice skating, a regular pub quiz and, weather permitting, BBQs. So you can get to know your fellow club members better and have a great time at University.
We now have a fantastic Social Sec in the club, details of the first few socials will be posted in various places (the forums, the website and the facebook group). So if you are interested in taking part keep an eye out or ask the Social Sec.
You can also join the University of Nottingham Achery Club Facebook Page, where details of socials and training sessions will also be posted .

Beginners that have just signed up for the first time will be required to complete a beginners course that registers you with GNAS and be insured. This course runs in the first 8 weeks of the Autumn semester. If you do not turn up to the required number of these training sessions, you will not be able to shoot after the end of the course.
Taster sessions are for those people who are unsure whether they wish to join the club or not and would like to try first, but you are welcome to attend if you don't mind repeating the same exercises again at a later date.
