Our Mission:

• To adhere to the Ideal of “Unification of Bowhunters” and to promote and encourage the sport of Ethical Bowhunting and    3-D Archery.
• To educate, establish and maintain the highest level of competitive archery as set out in the Original Charter of the IBO.
• To serve as an education tool for wild life conservation and ethical hunting practices.

In the 25 years that the IBO has been in existence, and to whom we are affiliated, it has grown to be the Largest Bowhunting Organization in the World !!! We as the ABO are now a part of that legacy, and we invite you to join us !!!

The sport of Tournament archery and Bowhunting have exploded in South Africa. Numbers ranging from an estimated 5 500 000 in the United States, to over 50 000 in South Africa…..making it one of the fastest growing sports.

The current Rifle Licensing laws escalating that number on a daily basis……….
Bowhunter Education being the primary focus of the IBO enabled them to develop a series of National / International Tournaments.

Today these 3-D events are by far the largest and most prestigious archery events in the world….. and also dominating the South African Tournament circuit with the Triple Crown and 2 Day National Event !!
