When one thinks of archery they often think of Robin Hood.
That’s what Amanda Devitt thought too, when she first fell in love with the sport at summer camp as a child.
Now, years later, Devitt is a senior member of the archery club at Carleton.
The simple fact that Carleton has an archery program was a deciding factor for Devitt four years ago when she was choosing a university.
The archery team, which has been around for six years, practices every Tuesday in the combatives room and welcomes new members.

The Canada-U.S. Olympic gold medal showdown in men’s ice hockey had all the ingredients for a game people will be talking about for ages: nail-biting intensity, a come-from-behind push that saw the States force overtime with only seconds remaining, and a photo finish care of Canadian poster boy Sidney Crosby.
The gold-medal game was a perfect representation of Olympic hockey: fast-paced, hard-hitting and skilled, but without the dirty hits and roughhousing that are commonplace in the NHL.
Redmen end Ravens’ season
The McGill University Redmen defeated the Carleton men’s hockey team 5-1 on Friday Feb. 26, forcing a third and deciding game in the Ontario University Athletics East semi-finals series Feb. 28 in which McGill ended Carleton’s season defeating the Ravens 6-2.
The Friday night game at the Carleton Ice House began in favour of the Ravens with an early goal from Mike Byrd during a power play three minutes into the first period. Unfortunately Redmen forward Andrew Wright evened out the score shortly afterward, despite Carleton’s aggressive defence.
Skating to a third-place finish
The McGill University Martlets ended the Carleton Ravens women’s hockey team’s season and hopes of making the Quebec Student’s Sports Federation (QSSF) finals Feb. 26.
Although the girls may be disappointed with the 3-0 loss, head coach Shelley Coolidge said they have a lot to be proud of.
“The third period was the one of the best they have played all season,” Coolidge said.
