A few nice bow hunting images I found:
Bow Hunting Impala in South Africa

Hunting Impalas is on the agenda for just about every hunter who sets foot in Africa. This graceful, medium sized antelope is a gregarious herd animal that frequents open woodlands, the bushveld, as well as the mopane scrub. At Bushmen Safaris, your Impala hunting experience begins with you being picked up at the airport in Johannesburg, South Africa. You then will be escorted to the hunting conservancy for game viewing and a relaxed evening "African Style". Your Impala African hunting safari commences the following day and continues for the customized length of your stay; the average hunt consists of 10 to 12 full hunting days.

Bow Hunting Zebra in South Africa

Even though the Zebra is a very tough animal and requires very accurate shot placement it is a popular first time hunter’s trophy. It’s a great animal to learn to track quietly and use cover and the wind efficiently. Zebra will be found in well grassed woodland or in fairly open grassland. It is relatively easy to stalk up to zebra in woodland but can be quite difficult in open habitat. To the advantage of the bow hunter, zebra are not easily spooked. They are inquisitive and will sometimes stand to watch an approaching intruder. They might even approach closer to investigate.
Although zebra will allow you to approach them in open habitat their flight distance is too far to fall within bow range. It is therefore advisable to try, as far as possible, to approach without being seen or to position yourself to intercept a herd along its direction of travel.
Zebra have a keen sense of sight, hearing, and smell. Always approach downwind if possible. Zebra are successfully hunted using spot and stalk and walk and stalk techniques, or using hides or elevated platforms. The dependence of zebra on water make waterholes and the approaches to waterholes good ambush sites.
At first glance zebras in a herd might all look alike, but their stripe patterns are as distinctive as fingerprints are in man. Scientists can identify individual zebras by comparing patterns, stripe widths, color and scars.
