    Mathews Vertix

    I was in the market for a new bow for a buff/hippo hunt in Zambia this year. I took my new 950gr Grizzly stik arrows to the pro shop and shot them through most of the bows. I had no real prejudice going in on bow make/model but had the Hoyt Helix and Mathews Vertix as my top choices for a DG...

    Kimber seems unreasonable!

    When my boys were younger (11 &12) I got them a Ruger Compact in .308 and had the stock shortened. Sweet little gun with a 16'' barrel and accurate. They killed a ton of plains game with it.

    Kimber seems unreasonable!

    Other than voiding the warranty on the stock itself it makes no sense to me why they would void the warranty on a rifle for shortening it's stock. Almost every rifle I own has had it's stock shortened or altered. Seems like standard procedure me. My brother had a Kimber Montana stock (the...

    Got a CZ 550 9.3x62 and I have some concerns

    My CZ 550 .375 H&H has major problems with feeding all rounds. Also, the rounds rattle around in the magazine. My CZ 550 in .416 Rigby feeds very well though. The feeding issue is an inconsistent problem with the CZ's and I don't understand why they don't/can't fix it. I have a Ruger...

    What Have You Killed with the 7x57

    My 13 year old son shot his first elk with a Ruger No.1 in 7x57 with a 140gr Barnes TTSX. Bullet performed perfect and the bull piled up within 50 yards.

    Reloading dies for 470 Nitro Express

    I normally use RCBS but use Redding for my .470, the main reason being I couldn't find .470 in RCBS. I actually prefer the redding dies now.

    Traveling with a Minor

    This October I will be traveling to Mozambique to hunt buffalo with my 15 year old son. Mom and brother will be staying home on this trip so it he will be just the two of us traveling. From my research and talking with the outfitter the only things I will need to carry is an affidavit signed by...

    Is a 416 Rigby using Hornady Interbonds adequate for Cape Buffalo?

    Bonded bullets like the North Fork, Swift or even all copper like the Barnes are by far a better option on buffalo than an Interbond. Yes the bonded bullets are slightly more expensive but a wounded buff is a whole lot more expensive, and not just in a monetary way. Save the Interbonds and...

    Mozambique: Gorongosa National Park to Expand

    Coutada 12 could not be more protected than it is under the control Mark Haldane/ ZDS. I've hunted Coutada 12 and can say first hand the area is flourishing with game, and the only reason is the hunters dollars put into the anti-poaching. To take it out of the control of ZDS is an enormous step...
