So yeah. This thing hasn't been updated in a while. The reasoning for this is twofold:
1) People don't really look at this thing when I do update it, and
2) I've gotten real lazy over the past year.
Therefore, while I will make sure the Contact Info and About pages stay up to date, for any official club announcements, please
follow us on Facebook. All the Facebook updates are public, so you do not
even need to have a Facebook account to see them, just bookmark the link and check every so often.
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to the new school year! I hope everyone had a good and restful summer. Some thing of note:
1) There is an activities fair from 6-9PM on Thursday this in armory. Please come for some or all of the time to help promote RPI Archery.
2) There is an outdoor 3D shoot at Green Island Rod and Gun Club on Sunday 18th September. Cost is $10 per person. Please email Matt if you want to go for head counting purposes. If you have a car and are willing to drive, that is a plus.
3) There is no regular meeting on Thursday this due to aforementioned activities fair. Our next regular meeting is on Tuesday next.
Spring Update
RPI archery has been up to some cool stuff lately. Elections for
new officer positions will take place on 10th March at 7 P.M. Please
e-mail Chris if you wish to run for a position. All candidates will
be expected to give a one-minute speech on why they feel qualified for
the position.
On 5th Feburary, the RPI Archery club sent four archers to the Vegas shoot
at Guan Ho Ha Rod and Gun Club. All four members performed well and did a
good job to help make RPI recognized in collegiate archery. The full results
of the shoot may be viewed here.
On the weekend of 5th March, the RPI Archery club also sent four shooters
to the collegiate national championships in New Hampshire. All shooters
performed well, official results will appear here shortly.
There is a 3-D shoot at Green Island Rod and Gun Club on Friday
11th March. Please e-mail Matt if you want to go and need a ride.
The cost is $5, we will leave RPI about 6:30 and get back around
midnight. There is also a shoot on the next Friday, 18th March.
If you are on campus and have nothing better to do, e-mail Matt
for a ride.
If you wish to get your equipment out of the closet to shoot during
the spring break, please e-mail one of the officers. Ahead of time.
Enjoy the spring break, everyone.
Welcome back (Spring Term)
Welcome back everyone to spring term! I hope everyone had a restful
holiday. There's some neat stuff happening this term. First of all, Chris has
asked me to share this blurb from the Union annual report. Your club dues at work:
"The RPI Archery Club was able to utilize Union funds to upgrade its range with a new net, which has
improved the shooting experience and safety at the range. The club also hired a coach for the first
time to mentor aspiring archers."
Also, there is a sort of tournement shooting thing going on at the Guan Ho Ha Rod and Gun Club
on the weekend of Feburary 4th - 6th. Please e-mail Chris if you wish to attend. If we get five
people to go, we can compete together as a club.
Our first official meeting will be on Tuesday, 25th January. 7-9 PM, basement of the armory.
Fall Update
To all our new members, welcome! And to all our returning members, welcome back!
Hope everybody's classes are going well this term. The Archery Club is in full swing now,
with meetings every Tuesday and Thursday from 7-9 in the basement of the armory. If you have not
paid your $45 club dues yet, please speak to one of the officers the next time you are at a meeting.
Meanwhile, we got a ton of exciting events that are in the works for this semester! Stayed tuned to your
e-mail and the website for more details as they become availible. If you are not receiving the archery e-mails,
but would like to, please e-mail Chris and he will put you on the list.
If you have missed the first meetings of the semester, but still want to join Archery, it is not too late!
We are always welcoming to new members; just come down to the range during regular meeting times. Our more
experienced shooters will be more than happy to lend assistance to you if you have never shot before. We're
generally pretty lenient about allowing people to try it out before we ask you to pay the club dues as well,
so you can try out archery risk-free!
Lastly, if anyone has any archery related photos they would like to see on the website, including bowhunting
photos, please e-mail them to me and I will add them!
Welcome back!
I hope everybody is excited for the new semester of shooting. Our first meeting of the year will be on Tuesday, 31st August at 7PM. See you all soon!
Flying Arrow Sports
Flying Arrow Sports in East Greenbush does a ton of stuff for us as a club and they are
a good option if you are looking to buy archery equipment. Click the banner above to check
out their website, or click on 'Arrowtrade' at right for an independent review that was published
in Arrowtrade Magazine.
Also, I hope everyone is enjoying the summer break. Keep shooting!
End of Semester, New Officers, Other Stuff
I hope everyone had a good semester and enjoyed the shooting. The
officers page has been updated with the officers for the 2010-2011 year.
The last official meeting of the semester will be Tuesday, 11th May. Several of
us will be around the greater Albany area over the break and will try to shoot
together. Let us know if you'll be around and want to get in on the fun.
If you have equipment in the closet that you need to get out for the summer, send
one of the officers an e-mail.
I think that's everything.
See you all next year. Keep shooting, my friends.
T-Shirts are here!
T-shirts finally arrived! They look pretty awesome, so make sure you come down to the range and get one! Even if oyu didn't order one, we have some extras floating around, cost is $10.
Coaching
There will be a coaching session on this Saturday, please e-mail Chris if you want to attend, as we will need a headcount.
Welcome back: T-Shirt Info
The T-shirts arrived, but the company screwed up. Fixed shirts should be arriving in about
a week or two, we hope.
In other news, hopefully everyone enjoyed the spring break.
We will be shooting again Tuesday, 16th March.
T-Shirt Update
Chris has informed me that the T-Shirts will finally be availible for pick-up after the spring
break. We should have a few extras, so if you didn't order one but still want one, we might be able
to hook you up.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, 16th March. Enjoy the spring break, everyone!
Ghillie Suit Source: Discounted Ghillie Suits!
Ghillie suit souce is offering an amazing deal to all members of RPI archery: 5% off your order on Ghillie Suit Source! Please e-mail one of the officers for the coupon code if you would like to take advantage of this.
Welcome Back
I hope everyone had a good winter break. I apologize for the lack of updates over the break, as I was unable to access the union servers during that time. Our first meeting of the semester will be on Tuesday, 26th January, from 7-9 PM on the range in the basement of the armory.
We are now Collegiate!
The RPI Archery club is now an official member of the U.S. collegiate archery clubs!
Club T-shirts
I have added a page with potential designs for our club T-shirts. These designs are courtesy of Jacob Katz, please e-mail him at katzj2@rpi.edu with questions, comments, and complaints.
Ok, now we have photos!
I have put some photos up that I took at last Thursday's meet. If anyone has any photos that they would like to see on the site, please e-mail me. I am trying to be consistent with bringing my camera to the meetings, so if you want to be in some of these photos, all you need come on down!
Calendar and Photos
We now have a calendar of events, powered by Google Calendar. We will have photos shortly as well; I took some at our last meet; now I
just need to get my computer and camera in the same place so I can actually upload the photos. If you have any photos you would like to see on the site,
please e-mail me.
Our next meeting is tomorrow night, Tuesday, 3rd November, at 7 P.M.
New Layout!
We are up and running! So far most of the changes on the website have been server-side only. All the content is the same, besides the much
obvious layout change, the casual user will notice little difference. However, we are now powered by PHP! Oh, and we are XHTML strict complient as
well. There is some little text that pops up when you put your mouse over the links. As of now, all pages should be up, with the exception of the
equipment page, which should be up by the close of business hours today. Photos will be up in the near future, I will be creating a Picasa™
gallery for the photos as well as a Google Calendar for our events. Look for these to come soon!
Our next meeting is tonight, Tuesday,
27th October, at 7 P.M. on the range, basement of Mueller Center.
Rolling!
Union's servers DO NOT like CGI, so I decided to rebuild in PHP. Would now be a bad time to mention that I don't know PHP?
