What is the South Carolina Bowhunters Association?

The South Carolina Bowhunter Association (SCBA) is an organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of bowhunting in our State.  Our responsibility is to you, the bowhunters of South Carolina.  In service of that responsibility, our primary function is to monitor legislative activities and to work with elected and appointed leaders within our state government and agencies to ensure that the privilege to bowhunt is not abridged and that the sport of bowhunting continues to be available to you, your children and their children after them.  

While the SCBA is not constitutionally affiliated with any other organization, we support and endorse program that promote legal and ethical bowhunting and resource conservation.   The SCBA is a charter sponsor of the South Carolina Sportsmens Coalition, and has made donations to Hunters for the Hungry, the Wildlife Legislative Fund of America, Operation Game Thief, and other similar organizations and programs.

The SCBA places a strong emphasis on archery and bowhunting education.  We provide the NBEF certified instructors for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Bowhunter Eductation program.  We support various youth archery and outdoor activities  with the goal of exposing as many young people as possible to the thrill of archery and bowhunting.  These have included programs at the South Carolina Sportsmans Classic, SCDNR Make One - Take One  program, BSA programs, NASP programs  and local community events.  

Another very important part of the SCBA mission is to provide opportunities to gather, fellowship and enjoy our wonderful sport together with others who love bowhunting.  In addition to SCBA sponsored 3D tournaments in February and May of each year, the organization arranges several bowhunting and bowfishing  opportunities for it's members.
