SABA and the European Bowhunting Federation (EBF)
SABA is now officially affiliated to more than 20 European National Bowhunting organisations.
The European Bowhunting Association is very pleased by the fact that the South African Bowhunting association was interested in an associate membership. In our common goal to make hunting with bow and arrow a part of the modern hunting heritage and our strive to educate the common man as well as our hunter friends I am a firm believer in networking says EBA President Anders Gejer. 
The knowledge I have gathered when visiting and hunting in RSA in relation to the practise of using bow and arrow as a hunting tool have been stunning. The bowhunters in your nation have made great strides in developing the Bowhunting side on African game and set an excellent example in the region that has spread the use of bow and arrow as a modern and ethical hunting method. 
EBA was founded due to the lack of knowledge about Bowhunting in Europe and a need to set up a network for the interested parties. 
EBA is very happy to have the fortune to cooperate with you in the future.
The European Bowhunting Federation (EBF)  promotes high ethical standards in a form of hunting that is tens of thousands of years old. Our mission is to inform the public and to provide a base of knowledge for guiding governmental or non-governmental organizations toward effective implementation of the art of hunting with the bow and arrow.
To achieve this end, we strive to communicate the value of bowhunting as a tool for sustainable game management and improving ecological conditions and awareness. EBF also supports the acquisition of practical skills and understanding by educating individual hunters through internationally acclaimed courses specifically created for the needs of modern bowhunters.

Bowhunting and why ?
When choosing the bow and arrow as a hunting weapon, the bowhunter makes a conscious decision to forget many of the advantages modern technology offers in the area of equipment. As a consequence, the bowhunter needs to develop the skills necessary to approach and hunt the quarry at ranges much closer than the animal's normal reaction/escape distance.
Further, the bowhunter needs to select, maintain and become proficient with equipment appropriate to the game hunted. Bowhunters are committed and ethical outdoor enthusiasts. They have chosen a deeper natural experience that requires more time to harvest the quarry, much like the angler who chooses fly casting and the challenges it brings. Challenge is the major reason for bowhunting. "A challenging way to hunt" or "requires more skill" consistently top the list of reasons why people take up bowhunting.
As a result of the General Assembly in Italy this year the decision has been taken to change the name and logo for EBA. Previously the word Association was used which has been converted to a more correct nomenclature Federation.
The future name will be: European Bowhunting Federation  and the abbreviation will be EBF .
SABA Broadhead Shoots.
SABA only use AFRICAN 3 dimensional (3 D) animals as we feel this is as realistic as we can come to an actual hunting situation – 2 dimensional (2 D) is great for target archery but as you can see from the pictures can not be reproduced effectively on a 2D butt - you loose the size of the animals which is critical in shot placement and distance judgement if on a walk stalk hunt.
A bowhunter should know the game he/she is going to hunt - size and most important shot placement 
We also shoot with broadheads to educate and teach hunters the difference in flight of the arrow when a broadhead is added. When arriving in the bush SABA hunters will be prepared – confident and educated
We simulate hunting situations since our targets are rarely in the open similar to animals in the wild.
