The Bowhunters Chapter of Safari Club International
Mission Statement
“The Bowhunters Chapter of Safari Club International, in a cultural environment rife with anti-hunting sentiment, has, at its heart, the promotion and protection of bowhunting, and the rights of bowhunters, around the world. Accomplishing this mandate will require focusing the energy and resources of bowhunters, around the globe, on education, conservation and humanitarian efforts around the world, and providing a platform from which to recognize outstanding achievement in those areas, as well as in bowhunting itself. It is a foundational belief in the good and wholesome nature of our endeavors, practiced ethically and in a sportsmanlike manner, that is the cornerstone of our mission.”

I can not speak for SCI as a whole and this for me is a very new discussion while we support regulation that sets minimum standards to insure the most ethical approach to give method of hunting is adhered to, my belief is that there would be support for people to pursue thier passion inclusive of spear hunts. I know that Mr. Nesbitt made great sacrifices of time and finance to get the first archery elephant tag 0001 I believe in Zim if my memory serves me correct. It was considered by many to be wrong and dangerous and unethical but he proved that it could be done ethically. I will bring this topic up with or Presidents at our meeting. In the end
SCI is first for Hunters and Hunters rights so it is not likely that you will see us looking to take away a right to Hunt once again ethics is whats behind the Barrel, bow or Spear.
