It differs a little between the courses what you have to do. So we will have a few subsections. Please open the section of your course to read the details.
For all:
After registration you can make use of our digital ressources – only register for them AFTER you registered. There is no obligation though for any of them, they are meant to be useful tools and help us organize. All of them (except the calendar) are only available for registered archer*ettes and are secured by password.
The WhatsApp Community consists of a few subgroups now. Join any you are interested in.
The link to join will be sent to all registered archers only!
Shared Drive Folder
I have gathered useful files and information here. The Information there might get obsolete, and move to this site bit by bit.

Recurve for Beginners

Step by Step, what you have to do now.
If you do not register within 2 days and there are other potential beginners on the waiting list, you will lose your spot and we draw a new winner.
If you choose to join the WhatsApp Community, please join the groups “Uni Bogensport – all active archers” and “Uni Bogensport – Recurve New Beginners“. You get the link in your welcoming Email, wait for it for a few days – I wait until all are registered.
I have shopping tips here. Usually at shops you can tell them that you need “beginners arrows for a 20lbs (wooden) recurve bow, with a stick-on plastic arrow rest”. That is all a shop owner should need. It doesn’t matter, which color your feathers/vanes are, nor do material or size or form matter. Take what you like. If you are unsure what to get, you can just write me an email or a whatsapp message. You can also use the Whatsapp-Group “Beginners” to arrange a shopping date with the other beginners.
A few things you can do:
Please be there early enough, that we can begin on time 12pm sharp! Especially on the first date. I have to explain a lot, I have to hand out your bows for the semester. All of that I do not want to explain two or three times, and it makes it easier to give you a bow that fits better.
During the semester I will help you further to improve your archery technique – I will not leave you hanging.
If you cannot participate on the three (mandatory!) beginners course dates: please unregister before the course as soon as you know you will not be able to participate after all for whatever reason, and let me know, please. Don’t let this spot go to waste by not showing up. Give others the chance to fill your spot. If you did not register this is not necessary, because I will automatically draw the next winner.
When you finished the three mandatory beginners course dates, you can show up and practice during the open range times, for the whole semester. You can use the university bow, quiver, bowstand, armguard and tab for the whole semester.
There will be excursions to 3D ranges (privately organized) you can also join if interested. We usually go to ranges, that are fun for new beginners, too.
During the semester the course instructor will also offer a few advanced lessons, you can join for free. But just in case, you might ask before, if it already makes sense to join as beginner.
And of course if you have questions to your equipment or your shooting technique I can usually always help you. And we have more shopping tips for your own equipment.
Horsebow for Beginners

This one is easy.
You already registered, you are in.

If you cannot participate on the three beginners course dates: please unregister before the course as soon as you know you will not be able to participate after all for whatever reason. Please don’t let this spot go to waste by not showing up. Give others the chance to fill your spot. If there will repeatedly open spots, because people don’t show up, we might have to do a lottery here, too. But we hope we don’t.
Archery for advanced
(click arrow to read more)
Also pretty easy.
If you do not register within 2 days and there are other advanved archers on the waiting list, you might lose your spot and we draw a new winner.
At the first time, the course instructor will have to check your equipment. But usually at this point, who said to be advanced is.

So far, I can say, that all advanced archers, that showed up at the information evening got in. So, since this trend seems to be continuing I might lift the restrictions to join for advanced archers at some point. But if and how I will do that, I will have to think about.
