ABO’s / 3Di’s affiliation to the IBO ( International Bowhunting organization ) was finalised early in 2005. With the need to have a clearer distinction between 3D Target archery, and conservation issues, we also affiliated to their subsidiary, 3-Dimension International. ( 3Di )
3Di South Africa will handle all issues related to 3D Target archery.
These include, but are not limited to the 3Di Tournament Circuit / Rules / Code of Conduct / Recognition / Affiliation to the National Federation and or Provincial Sport Confederations ( PSC )
