As long as this is done by volunteer archery enthusiasts I see nothing wrong with it. If it couldn’t control the population there are other noisier options available. Looks like a win-win to me.
30k to 40k boars in Madrid. 55 archers. 201 boars killed in 5 years.
Don’t think the boars have much to worry about.
In Texas, they hunt wild pigs from helicopters using machine guns:

One our younger relatives has killed elk, white tail deer, mule deer and California deer, antelope, wild turkey and wild pigs with his bows and arrows. He harvests several wild pigs a year.
After he gets his kids through college, he would like to hire out as a pro pig/boar hunter on the west coast and in Hawaii.
He practices with his compound bows at least 3 times a week and keeps 40 pound weights by his work desk and his lazy boy at home to work out a little each hour.
we do pretty much the same thing here at my Airpark.
Cept we either ride around in our golf carts or sit in our tree stands or even on our porches and shoot the sometimes 500 pound grub hunters.
I use a .308 Cetme’ and usually leave em for the buzzards where they lie.
When they are on the runway or taxiway we drag em off to the side.
Sounds pretty red necky but ya just can’t have 400 500 pound boar tearing up runways.
Beer helps.
I don’t eat pigs. but I hate those wild pigs. I’ve shot many a wild pig. They are destructive invasive pests.
I have been bow hunting wild boars for 15 years. They are not particularly hard to kill if you take your time, aim carefully and use a good broadhead..I am partial to slick trick 4 blade broadheads. Flies like a dart and makes a big hole.
