Shortcuts:     decal.org/905     decal.org/archery

Offered through the Cal Archery Club, this course provides a fun and challenging experience.  As part of our Team Development Plan, the class takes you from basic technique to competitive shooting with fun discussions and games too! 

 A majority of the time is spent at our archery field (the Golden Bear Softball Field at Clark Kerr) with several classroom sessions interspersed.  The course syllabus below contains a detailed outline.

Location:  Golden Bear Softball Field.  Located right next to Clark Kerr just walk up Dwight Way.  As you head up the hill, Clark Kerr will pass on the right.  Just before the field (also on the right) stairs will lead down to a parking lot.  At the end of the lot another set of stairs will lead up to the field.

FAQ's:

Q: Do I need any classes or experience before joining this Decal course?

A: Absolutely not! This fun class welcomes students of all skill levels, and as far as classes are concerned, there is no such thing as a pre-requisite for fun.

Q: Do I need to be a club member to take this Decal?

A: No, but there will be a fee that covers everything from course materials to bows and arrows.

Q: Why is there a fee and how does it work?

A: The Archery decal is very special in the sense that it makes available a sport that is not commonly known or accessible to many. Having said that, the equipment used in this class does cost money to replace and maintain, so there will be a small fee simply to make sure we can keep this class going for future students interested in taking it. The fee will be approved by the decal department and collected throug the ME department instead of directly by the instructors or facilitators, and it is not meant for profit in any way shape or form.

Q: How much is said fee?

A: TBA once we fully calculate how much it costs us to maintain all the equipment used.

Q: Do I need my own equpiment?

A: Paying the fee mentioned above means that you can use any of the equipment we rent from the CAL Archery Sports Club and there should be plenty to go around! You do not need anything except your enthusiasm!

Q: Tele-Bears says the course is listed as an ME (Mechanical Engineering) course. Is that supposed to happen?

A: YES! Our course sponsor is a professor in the ME department. That explains why our class is listed under the ME department.

Q: What is the difference between upper and lower division?

A: Typically juniors and seniors take upper-division courses while freshman and sophomores take lower-division courses. It all depends on your unit standing, but just try to go with the most logical choice or whatever works for you.

Q: What if I miss a class?

A: TBA

Q: Where can I find homework?

A: TBA
