Although named SANIFAA, this association presents a variety of events.

• Normal Field archery events
• Bow-Hunter archery events (paper targets)

• Indoor events

The African Chapter of IBO, the ABO, was established in 2005 by a group of dedicated archers, with the mutual desire to see that 3-D Archery, expand and flourish.
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.
• The essential components to our preamble to our constitution are to foster, encourage and promote the sport of target archery and bowhunting in general.
• 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 has 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 in our country.
• 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!!
