Archery Club | Home

At Cardiff University Archery we cater to the casual archer or the highly competitive to come shoot for the enjoyment and for the social aspect. We aim to help everyone improve at their own pace while also remaining competitive with other clubs and beating the competition.

 

Archery is a sport that can be carried out by someone of any physical ability, and we strive to be as inclusive as possible. If you believe you may need additional support to participate please email us at archery@cardiff.ac.uk

 

We hope this is the club for you, and cannot wait to meet our new members!

 

Getting Key updates:

Any key infomation will be provided through university email and our WhatsApp, sharing member only infomation, such as sessions and socials.

Please go to our Instagram page for updates on socials, session times and competitions. 

 

Can I Join? 

We take on both experienced and beginner members. For experienced archers you must attend a GIAG and show proof of AGB or beginners certification to a member of the committee.

We can facilitate all bow disciplines including recurve, compound, longbow, barebow and traditional (horsebow). We do not accept crossbow (unfortunately).

 

Socials: 

We don’t just ping arrows, the archery club arranges a variety of socials, from going to the pub after sessions to moderately wild nights out (not that wild). Don’t worry, there’s other stuff too- mini golf, bowling, archery tag, 3D archery and much more!

 

Competitions:

For those archers that want to push themselves, there are a variety of competitions available to compete in. Not only are they a great way to represent the university (and look great on your CV), they are also really good fun. Tournaments are open to all skill levels, having beginner categories for people who have never shot before, giving beginners the opportunity to place and win medals. When it comes to bigger tournaments, we compete in both BUCS indoors and outdoors, which gives a real chance for an archer to push themselves as they are against every archer in the country. 

Finally, the most enjoyable of all competitions- Varsity. A once yearly opportunity to terrorise Swansea. They might be a bigger club on paper, but it is a great opportunity for making friends and showing off our skills as archers in a friendly yet competitive atmosphere.

 

Varsity: 

The varsity team will be selected from a competition within the club.
