Where you from and what uni you go to? [Archive] - Archery Forum

Well.......Did 3 years of Law School after school, but failed about 50% of the last 2 years of that and so, effectively got kicked out...then worked in real estate for a year (OMG that really, really sucked) and then, in my own personal renaissance, started a Geological Engineering degree at RMIT in 2001. I now have the distinction of being in my 6th year of Uni without any qualifications but can say that I am enjoying it!

The other distiction is that I will have a ~$41,000 HECS Debt by the end of this one to the Govt, so anyone who reckons I am a freeloader can go and get #@%WQ$#^T!!!!!!

There!

Started with a BSc (Biomed) at Monash Uni then transferred to Sicence\Law. Finished the Science part with Honours but didn't like Law (plus the world doesn't need another lawyer)

Just transferred to Graduate Medicine at Sydney Uni (as a result, now in my 6th year at Uni)

At the moment, I reside in Brisbane and am going to QUT to get my honours in Biotechnology (GM soybean). Where am I from? Well, that's a different story. Bakersfield, Sunshine Coast, York, San Francisco, Brisbane and I once lived in France for 3 weeks. Don't even TRY to decipher my accent! I can't even do it.

Well, this is a nice new inovation.

People, our club has just last weekend moved onto Uni Western Sydney Macarthur campus at Campbelltown.

I am a past BBus from Charles Sturt, but am also a bit different from you lot in that this year my age will be 50, plus GST.

I very recently posted to Flehrad and StevenB in the crossbow thread, advising that we have a full FITA outdoor, and can set up a full clout, with potentially field to come.

We have absolutely no members from UWS in our club at present, and would hope that by our presence on campus, in a very conspicuous position, and with the assistance of the sports body, this will shortly change.

Steven, if Vicki can get you on for for field, then go for it. But would anyone be interested in a clout at our new field once we get fully operational? Hosting such an event would be attractive to the sports body, and give us some further impact to attract students.

Flehrad, your club current high profile is well noted as my law clerk tells me your mob are always out shooting when she goes to law lectures.

Brian Fromholtz,
Camden & District Archery Club

Flehrad

07-04-2003, 09:49 PM

Hehehe, yeah, we get absolutely the best exposure shooting in the almost exact middle of campus.

And our memberships so far is up to 155 members
and we can only cater for about 30 shooters at a time........ so yeah....... a bit of a tight situation that we are trying to resolve.

I think that you will be able to easily aquire members from your university once it is fully advertised and all.

And I think that we'd rather travel to UWS for competition than to Newcastle just because it's closer =P
As well as a full FITA range, and potential for clout
~starts eyeing the 20lb bows~.

StevenB

07-04-2003, 09:57 PM

clout oh yeah, I can try out my new arrows

frommy

07-04-2003, 10:13 PM

It will take us some further time to get ouselves set up at UWS, and we could not cater for large numbers for a FITA outdoor.

But we have previously run a State clout, and could set one up once we are fully settled in, maybe in a few months. Why don't you ask your fellow uni members if they might be interested?

As I imagine that many of the students would not have any previous experience at clout, we could possibly run an introduction session in the morning, followed by a single clout in the arvo.

It would be some months before we could do this, and keep in mind that I am out on a limb on this, as the board of our club has not been consulted by me prior to my post.

Expressions of interest would be appreciated if you would like to discuss this with your club members.

Flehrad, I have been involved in some discussions with Alex over the ASNSW affiliation of SydU archery (I was a previous executive member of ASNSW) and, unless your people are ASNSW members, there may be some issues if the event is conducted by us in regard to insurance.

But this is too soon to call. See if your people might be genuinely interested in a clout first.

I wouldn't mind a clout shoot. Used to do it a while ago until I started to get more into target and indoor. Looks like I've got to change the points on my X7's if I'm going to shoot clout. And get a low poundage bow so I can get some decent angle.

Remember an incident where I was shooting my X7's (used for field and indoor) in a clout shoot with my 55lb compound. Point hit the gound in the 10 but the arrow practically buried itself underground and cos of the angle it hit the ground, I got an 8. It didn't happen once but half the 8's I scored were 9's or 10's that got buried. :x

That was a lot of fun. It had been raining that week as well so I had a lot of fun cleaning globs of mud off my arrows (though the mud may have helped with weighing down my points :D

Aarleks

08-04-2003, 07:10 AM

Brian - A clout event would be great if you could organise it. I'm sure the UWS sports union could arrange something whereby the non-affiliated archers could participate. Again would love to do it. Keep us informed of your progress.

I work at AAPT, in Ross Street, Glebe. Might be fun to wander across for lunch, do some shooting, help out a bit.

Flehrad

29-12-2003, 10:34 PM

Malcom,

We currently shoot at the Square. If you enter the University of Sydney Ross St entrance, and follow the road along the oval across to the left, you will see a building called "The Arena" with "Ralphs Cafe" and "The Ledge" signs on the building and footpath. The Square is the field on the other side of the road to the left (not the two ovals on the right of the Arena).

We are going to be moving to St Pauls College oval some time in the near future as soon as storage problems are cleared up.

After New Years, there generally will be people shooting regularly, even if in small numbers (like 1 or 2 people) at the sessions we have the field booked for.
Our current hours are Tuesdays and Fridays from 2pm-5pm weather and opening hours of the Arena permitting.

You're most welcome to come along for a visit.

After several months of lurking, I've decided to make my debut. I'm the elusive Dan that got a few honourable mentions here and there. I'm a career student at Sydney Uni, and the club's longest standing member - at about 13 or 14 years (it was that long ago, I can't remember when I joined - memory's going in my old age :oops: ). I shoot Barebow Recurve, originally because for the longest time, we only shot at 30m, and it wasn't enough of a challenge with a stabiliser (I still didn't use sights). Now, I've stuck with it, because it is still a good challenge, and really forces you to hone your technique. Also, because it's been real easy to set new records, but someone's got to raise the bar for Barebow! :wink: Sometime later, I could probably try out freestyle and maybe get 1200, but for now, I'm aiming for 1009 (NR) or 1031 (MB rating). Besides, I get a sick pleasure out of beating all but the best freestylers without all the doodads... 8)

Hi Semi-auto,

Your choice of archery club should probably be dependant on where you will be living. I you give us some idea of that we can probably assist you further.

There may be some ties between UTS and UNSW Archery, but don't quote me on that.

26-09-2008, 09:39 PM

G'day again Semi-auto,

Welcome to Australia.

From Parramatta you have a few choices, mate, depending if you have a car. The most obvious, and perhaps closest one is Sydney Olympic Park Archers at Homebush who shoot at the 2000 Olympic Games archery facility. Their website is here:

http://www.sopa.com.au/

Others in the vicinity are Penrith, Northern, Greenlees and Burilda. The contact details for these clubs can be found here:

http://www.archerynsw.com/index.php?option=com_contact&catid=25&Itemid=51

My club is a fair way from Parramatta in SW Sydney, but we are based on a uni campus, and that is why I look at this section of the forum. Perhaps any future questions that you may have should be in other sections of the forum, rather than the uni one. Just a thought.

Anyway, have a look at the clubs above, get in, and continue to enjoy our sport. :thumb:
