Section 1: Membership
Membership the club is open to students only. For the first and/or second year of the club, only students who have their own equipment will be able to join the club. Once sufficient funds have been achieved to purchase and/or rent proper archery equipment, then all students who have an interest in archery will be able to join. 
Members have a choice of how involved they want to be in the club. Students have to choice to either be affiliated with the archery club, or they have the choice to join the National Archery Association (NAA) and compete in tournaments of different caliber (ie: local, regional, and national). In order to be a member of the NAA collegiate division, a member must be full time and be in good standing. If a member just wants to be involved in the club but not in competing, then they only need be a part time student.
If for some reason a student is expelled, then they will also be taken off of the club roster and will be taken out of any competitions if he/she was signed up. The club will attempt to refund the money from the competition fees but there is no guarantee that the money will be able to be refunded.
Section 2: Fees
The general entry fee into the club will be $10.00. In order to compete, the member must join the NAA, and will have to have an addition fee of $30.00. The membership forms will be processed through the club. One can become a member of the NAA at any point during the year, so if they decide half way through the year that they want to compete, they will be able to as long as they pay the appropriate dues. Both dues will need to be paid annually, so if a member competes then the dues for the year will be $ 40.00. If any of the dues are failed to be paid, then he/she will be suspended from the club until the dues are paid.
Section 3: Elections
The officer elections will take place in September. Members running for the positions of President and Vice President must have a minimum of 1 year in the club and be in good standing with the university. Members running for the positions of Secretary and Treasurer can be first year members and must be in good standing with the university. The voting process will be in the form of secret ballots and the majority will rule. If there is such a vote that is close to a half and half split, then a revote will occur. If a member is unable to attend a meeting when voting for officers an absentee ballot may be issued and returned to the president of the club ASAP.
Secton 4: Meetings
Meetings will be held during common hour or at another time that is most
convenient for the club members 9 times during the semester. 7 of the meetings
are required for the members leaving 2 meetings that the members may miss. The
meeting will include the collection of score cards, attendance and club news. The
meeting will be held in a relaxed but organized manner. Members are required to turn in score cards to the president if they are absent for one of the meetings no later than 2 days after the missed meeting. A total of 15 score cards will be collected for the semester
Section 5: Quorum
The minimum amount of people that need to be present for decision making and voting will be 80 %. If less than 80 % of the members are present then the voting will be held off until the following week.
Section 6: Amendments

Section 7: Point System

The point system is divided into four sections: meeting, group shoots, fundraising, and scorecards.

c) +2 points: The member comes to all 9 of the meetings during the semester

b) +1 point: For every group shoot that the member does attend, +1 point will be put into the members point account
Section 3: Fundraisers

c) -1 point: If the member fails to sell the set amount then he/she will lose one point from their point account
