FACE position on bow hunting adopted

Brussels, 7 September 2020 – With a growing interest in bow hunting around Europe, FACE is pleased to present its position on bow hunting, resulting from a close collaboration with EBF (European Bowhunting Federation) and with strong support from its Members.

This method of hunting goes back in humankind’s evolutionary roots and is growing in popularity across Europe. The need to get into close proximity with wildlife, the intriguing experience it represents and evolving progress regarding the equipment are some of the reasons why more and more hunters are now engaging in bow hunting. It is also another useful management tool, especially where the use of firearms is not possible, for example, in urbanized areas.
