According to the IBO website, the 32-year-old organization seeks to promote wildlife conservation and education about the sport of bow hunting. Their competitions are broken into several classifications and age groups.
The IBO isn't just the competitions. "As state game agencies are increasingly recognizing that bowhunting can play an important part in modern suburban American deer management, the IBO is prepared to play a pro-active role in the process and providing the best-trained, best prepared and most ethical bowhunters," the group posted on its website.

These events also allow vendors and bow hunting educators a forum to teach the public about safety and advancements of technology and equipment.
