"In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS"

beautiful bull.....I want to get one with my bow on my next trip to Africa, they are so majestic when you see them walking around the bush.

what is your average size for the Sable bulls?

I haven't shot Buffalo with it, but did take 6 plains game species with the 300 Grain Barnes TSX at distances from 35-40 yards to 125 yards. With a 100 yard zero, that bullet is only 5 inches low at 200 yards, which from my experience on the ranch I was on, is the farthest shot you will have...

We ended up booking our flights ourselves because we travel so much that it's just what we do. We are flying IAH to IAD to JNB on the way over and through Frankfurt on the way home. We are travelling with our son who will be 7 when we go and really wanted to do the direct flights, but by booking...

Anybody have any experience travelling from the US to South Africa and back with a suppressor? Thinking about taking one on our safari in June for the 6.5 Creedmoor that my son will be shooting and the 300RUM that I will be taking. Wasn't sure on what information I would need to travel...
