What is Archery Fest?
Archery Fest is an annual event where our experienced coaches and officers provide free archery lessons to everyone in the beginning of the Fall quarter. This allows our prospective members to try archery in person and encourage them to join our club.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, Archery Fest was held from September 28th (SAT) to October 2th (WED) between 1pm to 4pm each day on the Intramural Field (IM Field). However, our club registration is open year round, meaning you can join our club at any point during the school year.
I’ve never done archery before. What should I expect?
If you don’t have any prior archery experience, that’s fine! Just like our club, Archery Fest is a beginner-friendly event where we aim to provide lessons and equipment to everyone regardless of their experience level. Most people coming to Archery Fest are not experienced in archery as well, so feel free to show up and try archery for the first time!
What should I bring to Archery Fest?
We provide all the necessary archery equipment so you don’t have to worry about not having anything. We do ask, however, that you please wear closed toe shoes. We also recommend wearing sunscreen and bringing a bottle of water as the field can get hot during Archery Fest. Sunglasses and a hat are advised as well.
I missed Archery Fest. Is it too late to join the club?
Our club application is open all year round, so you can join our club at any time of the school year regardless of prior archery experience! The purpose of Archery Fest is to provide everyone some archery experience before joining our club, not to qualify people to be in our club. Even if you missed Archery Fest, we have a two week grace period afterwards where you can come to our regular practices (Mon-Fri, 2-5 PM at Wallis Annenberg Stadium) without membership.
