We are a USA Archery-affiliated collegiate club that welcomes archers of all skill levels. Each year, we send teams to state and national tournaments and participate in a variety of social and service events. Our mission is to expand the collegiate archery community and enhance student life by promoting both the recreational and competitive aspects of the sport, providing opportunities to try something new, and supporting archers in pursuing their passion.
In addition to maintaining our regular club equipment, we are fundraising this year to support our competitive team’s travel to Collegiate Target Nationals, which will once again be hosted in Michigan. Funds raised will help cover cross-country transportation, lodging, and essential team expenses, ensuring that our archers can compete at the national level.
Here’s a breakdown of how your donation may be used:
$5 supports new finger tabs, which protect our hands from the bowstring
$10 provides an arm guard to protect an archer’s arm
$25 funds a new sight to help our archers aim for gold
$50 covers a beginner stabilizer set
$75 provides a beginner riser
$150 funds a complete beginner bow
$200 helps purchase new target bales
$500 funds an archer’s travel to our largest national tournament of the year
$1,000 helps outfit the team with new polos
Our organization has a proud history of support from generous donors. Your contribution makes it possible for archers who may not otherwise have the financial means to participate in this sport to compete, grow, and represent our university. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue this tradition!
40 for Forty is UT's yearly fundraiser, and as a small sport club, the UT Archery Club relies on fundraising for much of its funding. Donations to the club support the club's operations and the expansion of archery as a sport on campus. Many of the UT archers start in this club with no experience, and work their way up to veteran competitive archers shooting at national-level tournaments.
Every donation, large or small, has an impact. Bonus: all gifts are tax-deductible! Please consider supporting the UT Archery Club!
“Traveling across the country with a supportive team and competing at national tournaments was something I never expected to experience in college. These opportunities were made possible thanks to the support of our donors, and I am deeply grateful. No matter where life takes me after graduation, I know I will always give back to this incredible community.” - UTAC Graduating Senior
“While it’s only my second year as a part of the UT Archery Club, I feel like I’ve already found my place within this vast community. This would not be possible without all of the equipment provided to you by the club. With plenty available, no matter how many people show up to practice, there is always another bow, set of arrows, and target ready to go. Without the support of donors, each new member would be required to buy all of their own equipment, a pricey commitment, before even trying out the sport! While I know I am sticking with the club, it would be great to see new faces among our members.” - UTAC Sophomore Year Officer
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you and Hook 'Em Horns!
