The Archery Club was established in 1962. CSULB has the longest continuous operating collegiate archery program in the United States. They have been competing at the state, regional, and national level for over 40 years. Seventeen archers from the program have been named as All American Collegiate Archers, which is the highest honor for collegiate archers in the nation.
The Archery club is open to everyone, even allowing non students to join. All aspects of the club are available to them, except they are not eligible to be selected for competitions. The club is also one of the few which requires no prior experience and they provide tutelage through veteran members and the coaching staff. The club also offers all equipment needed. This allows a larger range of members to participate.
The team competes in both indoor and outdoor competitions along with 75 other colleges and universities across the nation. In a recent event, CSULB ranked in the top five in both men's and women's compound and finished first in the women's recurve. The team has a limited number of spots and members must qualify to fill them, providing the highest level of competitive spirits possible.
