    Kenya Airways?

    Appreciate everyone's input.... We booked Qatar. That is what I was leaning towards, but further exacerbated by affirmation from Patrick at PWP Travel. Thanks again. Cheers, CK

    Kenya Airways?

    We are in the final stages of hunt planning for the year.... we have flown Delta/KLM / AirFrance historically but by far the easiest route to Tanzania is with Kenya Airways both to and from with the connection in JFK and the direct offering through Nairobi. It seems to be a very...

    2026 Elephant Hunt Recommendations?

    I apologize for the delay.... was out of pocket skiing a few days with the family. I have not committed just yet but I do know that this year will 100% not work. I will be in TZ for a hunt this year and that has me pretty well covered for 25. Thank you for keeping me in mind though.

    Want To Buy First Double Rifle

    I have a ton of handloads and all the reloading components, so working up loads is not an issue. JJ very clearly said it was not a problem shooting modern ammo and I took that as gospel as from everyone I have ever met... he is regarded as the authority on DR's. That being said.... I am open to...

    Want To Buy First Double Rifle

    That is in fact what was inferred based off of a green light from JJ who went through and shot the rifle. If I need to heed further advisement, I am all ears but having the blessing from him seemed sound enough direction. The only caution I was given was not to shoot "older solids" as I would...

    2026 Elephant Hunt Recommendations?

    Not a hard and fast budget but based on outfitters we are considering with great reviews and seem to find success, I am seeing options from 25-35K. This is not saying I am not flexible depending on the right opportunity but as originally stated, looking for the best value for money. If money was...

    Photographing your armory .... Am I the only one.......?

    I am curious as my wife was laughing at me this morning. Am I the only one that likes to do a "boudoir shoot" of any new firearms you purchase? Maybe it is just me but I like the vintage look and to me adds to the overall experience for me in appreciating a firearm, quite honestly, I never...
