History
The team was established in January 2018 but before that it was just a group of enthusiasts who just played with a flying disc. Every year in winters, when the Swimming pool is closed due to low temperatures in Kanpur, the Aquatics team of the institute used to play the basic ultimate game without having the idea of what Ultimate is. Then Mr Arshil Abbas Naqvi ,who was a member and captain of the Institute Aquatics team was individually so enthusiastic to learn this game and get better in the game. He practiced and got a lot better in the game. He started for people around the campus who knew the game already, but to his astonishment he couldn't find anyone except Mr Divyansh Sachan, who is a son of a professor in IIT Kanpur and played for his College Ultimate Frisbee team and their team had won the National College Ultimate Championship in 2017 where college teams from all over India participated. These two people then conducted several workshops in the campus encouraging students to play Ultimate and training them basics of the game. They received a great response from the Campus Junta and in no more than 2 months there were enough players to play practice matches among them. And continuously practicing after that led to the formation of IITK Bullets in January 2018.

Participation and Achievements
After the team was established the had their first practice match with Mr Divyansh Sachan's college team which had won the National College Championship back in 2017. The match was a full field match in which 7 players played at a time from each team with a bench of substitutes and the first team to reach 15 points was decided to be declared as the winner. The match was conducted at Football Field of IIT Kanpur. IITK Bullets lost this match by a very close score of 14-15 but were happy by this exceptionally well performance. After this they went on to play UP state championship held at Lucknow in September 2018 and performed quite well but were not able to qualify for the National Championship. Presently they are practicing professionally and getting better to play matches. Also playing practice matches with other college teams.
