There are a lot of threads on what set up to take to South Africa for plains game, so I thought I'd post how my equipment performed after the fact. Couldn't have been more pleased. PH said it was perfect.
This is by no means saying that this set up is right for everyone, just how it worked for me.
Equipment:
Bow - Mathews Halon 6 29.5" draw set at 66 lbs
Arrow - Easton 6mm FMJ
Broadhead - Muzzy MX - 3
Total arrow weight 475 grains
Performance results:
Kudu at 22 yards: pass thru, ran 40 and collapsed
Blue wildebeest at 27 yards: pass thru, ran 40-45
Waterbuck at 32 yards: pass thru, ran 50-60
Warthog at 18 yards: pass thru, ran 30
Impala at 30 yards: broke opposite leg, no pass thru, ran 20
Blesbok at 18 yards: broke both front legs, no pass thru, ran 30
