About Us

The idea of an Archery club at the hundred year old prestigious institute was conceived by Vikram Pal Singh, an Integrated PhD student of the batch 2012 (Biological Science). After a bit of struggle and by the support of the administrative staff at Gymkhana (IISc), the club had its first official meeting on 7th February 2013. We are one of the 2 professional archery clubs in Bangalore. We have trained more than 200 members of the IISc family till date.

Activities

Archery being a rare sport in India, we conduct monthly training sessions for beginners. Keep an eye out on the broadcast mails and the posters around campus for announcements on our new training batches. We have practice sessions through the week and scoring sessions on Sundays. The scoring sessions follow the format of FITA competitions but are for self assessment.

We organize long distance competitions once a year for trained archers. We organize some fun shooting activities for the club members. The first 30 minutes of the session involves warm-up exercises followed by jogging. New members can use the club kits for the first month.
