You need to look at momentum instead of KE. The KE will slightly increase when adding mass to the arrow. The momentum will significant increase when adding mass to the arrow. The 2 arrows below were my PG and cape buffalo set up: 582gr arrow - KE:99.77 - M: 0.718 909gr arrow - KE: 102.99 - M...

Hi Adipose, I've bow hunted in May in SA, August in Botswana, September in SA this year. The bush has been very thick and still green all year, the walk and stalk has been very challenging and the animal activities around the blinds certainly as good as last year. SA / Botswana had a lot of...

Congrats for the amazing hunt. Just came back from Zimbabwe where I bow hunted with Butch. He told me you hunted with him and got a Cape buffalo as well.

Just got back from Zim, I had an amazing time. I managed to get a bushbuck, an eland and a buffalo all on walk and stalk. Hunting story to follow.

I am using a Garmin Xero Pro (rangefinder is integrated on the sight) sight. The furthest distance I get with this arrow weight is 56y. No issue at this distance with the accuracy but I am not planing to take the shot on a buffalo at this distance! I hope I will have a shot opportunity below 30y

My set up has changed a bit. I am now using a PSE carbon Mach 34 EC 80lbs After the testing on heavy bones I’ve settled on the following set up : Goldtip kinetic kaos 200 spine arrow shaft Stainless steel insert and collar 190gr Tuffhead dangerous game single bevel L 400gr Total arrow weight is...

Are you planning to use the single bevel or the double bevel without bleeder?

Thank you for the link. I’ve probably already watched all his videos on BH. This is the Tuffhead evolution, the bevel angle, blade thickness and the material is not the same as the dangerous game. I’ll go the butcher this week to get some heavy bones and I’ll do a test with the Tuffhead...

@firehuntfish thank you for your help. Yes indeed, this is very surprising to have bullet hole with this spine. I did nock tune all my bareshaft arrows prior to fletch them. My arrows are cut to 27.75'' carbon to carbon. I am using a stainless steel 150 gr hit insert (which goes 3.5" into the...

No issue with the IW durability? Since this is not a one piece BH, there is alway a risk of failure compared to single piece BH. What was your arrow set up?

With the victory rip tko arrow, I’ve a stainless steel hit insert of 150gr, a 40gr collar and 400gr BH. So it’s 590gr in front.

Hi, I’m going for a Cape buffalo bow-hunt in Zimbabwe in September. I’m still trying to decide the BH & arrow I’ll use. My plain game arrow is Victory RIP TKO 250spine, total arrow weight is 603gr @270fps. If I put a 400gr BH on this same arrow, I still get a bullet hole through paper (even...
