Archery Club

ABOUT

Since the club's inception in 2009, the CSUN Archery Club has been the central location for all athletic and recreational archery on campus. Our primary goal has always been to reflect the highly accessible nature of archery: teach and train absolutely anyone who wants to take up the sport, no matter who they are! For this reason, we have a no equipment or experience policy nor conduct tryouts. So as long as you have an iota of interest, you can join the fun with us and become an archer!

Furthermore, as a bridge between casual and professional archery, we offer two tracks: recreation and competition. Recreational members pay less but still gain access to our campus’s archery range as well as any training they request. Competition members, while paying more, represent the college on the tournament stage, to which many have gone upwards to the state and even national level. While we are primarily focused on Olympic-style competition shooting, we encourage any other archers to bring in their own experience! Currently, the campus allows traditional bows, Olympic Recurve, and barebow. While compound bows are not permitted on campus, we encourage practicing off-campus and support a compound division in competition.

Our club is supported directly by numerous USA Archery-certified instructors and coaches, monetarily by Easton Foundations, and competitively through the camaraderie of other universities that we shoot alongside.
