Maybe you've always wanted to shoot a bow, but never had the opportunity to get your hands on one, or maybe Robin Hood was your favorite movie when you were a little kid, or maybe Robin Hood is your favorite movie right now. Whatever the reason, if you're interested in learning how to shoot a bow, the Purdue Archery Club wants to hook you up! Don't have a bow? No problem. We've got a whole arsenal of beginner compound and recurve bows as well as arrows, arm guards, and finger tabs to go along with. So, if you're looking for something new and exciting to get involved in on campus, send us an email at purduearchery@gmail.com, or simply show up to one of our scheduled practices.

The Purdue Fencing Club welcomes all students who are interested in learning the olympic sport of fencing in all three weapons: foil, epee and saber. We practice three times a week and often travel to compete individually and as team. Purdue Fencing Club started 92 years ago as a 5-member men's varsity foil squad, and grew in popularity. In 1935, Silver Mask, an honorary fraternal order, was created to increase interest in fencing. While men's varsity fencing was dissolved in the 1940s, the Silver Mask fraternity remained to provide a fencing club atmosphere. Today, the club is stronger than ever, with around 50 men and women fencers.
