Frequently asked questions

Getting started

  • I have never shot a bow before. Can I still come?

    Yes! That is who the club is for. We are recreational and beginner-focused. If it is your first time shooting, one of our instructors will teach you the basics.

  • Do I have to be a Northwestern student?

    You need to be Northwestern-affiliated, which includes undergraduates, graduate students, part-time students, faculty, and staff. That also means you cannot bring friends from outside Northwestern.

  • Can I try the club before paying anything?

    Yes. The first Friday and Saturday practices of each quarter are free, so you can come and see what it is like before paying dues.

  • Where do you send out announcements?

    We send out announcements via our email list and GroupMe. Links to join both are at the bottom.
