Archery
I have noticed that there is no team nor even a club for archery at McMaster. I find this horrific. I would love to start an archery club but first I need to be able to show interest. If anyone is interested in learning or joining such an activity please notify me.
  • No experiance required
  • Equipment can be provided
  • A fun and safe (yes it is safer then you think) way to improve coordination, concentration and muscle without psyhical exertion
  • A sport that many can participate in
  • You get to shoot stuff
  • Make people fear you (that wasnt a serious point)

One last thing
I forgot to mention that I have been shooting for many years and have numerous awards in the sport, after having recieved some of the most incredible coaching I have seen. I feel capable to teach the proper technique; however the aim is to keep things more fun based until a competitive side is desired

archery would be a really cool sport/club at mac.

and the sound of a fun club where the goal is just enjoyment, not winning or competing is exactly the reason i would join.

i hope you can start this up

I would definitely be interested. I used to be a camp counselor, and taught kids how to shoot, so I could possibly help, but sadly I was never very good =\

Yeah, I gave up looking for it too, lol. It wasn't on the map/list that were posted. There was like a medieval table or something too, and they had archery stuff...I wasn't sure if that was it, but I put my name down anyways haha.
