Hit harder. I can adjust my shot. I can’t add power. I know, I know... shot placement is everything. But how often do you get the “perfect shot?” Rarely. So I’d just as soon have some extra power.

I'm filling out the SAPS520 form for our upcoming trip. Trying to decide how to fit my 5-digit zip code into the 4 boxes for postal code on the form. How has everyone else done this?

They sold their business to someone else. From what I've heard, some folks were caught up in the change (they dropped off with Jonas and then it was sold and they haven't heard from the new owners, or their trophies were delayed a year) and are none too happy.... I don't know if the new...

I would also like to know what this kinda stuff would cost. I'm trying to figure out which animals I want to go for, but I have to factor in all the costs, from trophy fee to dip & pack to shipping and taxidermy. Seems impossible to piece all this together. Its looking more and more like I'm...

We are going to hunt with Authentic African Adventures in March, also live in Denver. Could I buy you a beer and pick your brain for an hour sometime before then?

Getting up in the elk/Kudu/eland range I'd prefer a .300 win mag or wsm. Mostly because we don't always get the perfect shot and I'd like to have a little extra power for those times on larger game. However 30-06 has many positives, such as ammo availability and cost. I recently discovered the...

Nosler, Remington, Ruger, CVA and I'm sure a couple more.

Anyone who can't handle the recoil of their gun, shouldn't be using that gun. I've taken many shots, both on the bench and at deer/elk with my .340WBY and I won't tell you that I like the recoil, but I find it to be manageable. Especially when shooting at an animal, with a little adrenaline...

I think Paul is correct. Everyone knows (or should know) that the shooter is the most important part of the whole process. For anyone to say that a 300WBY is any worse (or better for that matter) than a 300WIN based solely on the brand and the amount of money it costs is pretty ludicrous...

There's nothing wrong with a .243. However, it is a bit under-powered for larger game. I know, I know, I know - shot placement is everything; but, in all my years of hunting and all the animals I've taken, I may have gotten something close to the shot I actually wanted one time. Hunting and...

I've had a Weatherby Mark V in .340 WBY Mag for years. Its a great cartridge for anything bigger than mule deer. Might be overkill on some smaller species. I always used to pine for a .338 Lapua, until I started really studying the difference between the Lapua and the WBY and felt that they...
