Archery

About

This year we will be running beginner courses starting in September after clubs day (25th Sept 2012) in the Sports Hall (a.k.a.Kingfisher)). Sign up is on clubs day but get there early as places are limited for the first course. You will learn the parts of the bow, how to set it up and how to shoot safely. We teach Olympic Recurve to beginners in the club and we are extremely proud to have produced archers that have gone on to represent Ireland on the international stage.

NUIG Archer Gets Sponsored

Good news for the NUIG archery club as one of their "born and bred" archers Joe Gill gets sponsored by a major archery equipment supplier Win & Win. This sponsorship deal is a result of Joe consistantly winning Irish tournaments and shooting at a high level. A delighted NUIG captain Oliver Grant says "We are all very proud of Joe and we are enjoying basking in his reflected glory". "Having an archer of his level come out of the club is an amazing feat considering he only started shooting when he joined the club".
