Has anyone hunted an elephant with their bow ? If so what was your bow setup?
 
I have not, and I haven't heard of anyone doing so for a few years. I recall a magazine article from a while back that I read, they were shooting bows around 120 lbs and I think 700 grain arrows. The guy was glueing inserts into the front section of the arrow to achieve those weights. I think it was in a Magnum magazine (South African ) I would guess that modern bows will achieve the same performance with less poundage. He used one piece fixed Broadheath with just 2 blades. I will search and see if I can find the article. Check out this thread https://www.africahunting.com/threads/bowhunting-elephant-best-setup.5043/
 
Contact Strang Middleton. He is a well known bowhunter in his own right and guides bowhunters for elephant. He is in Zambia.

I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.

Hello,
I might be able to help you out depending on how many you need. I could probably spare 50-75 .285g A-Frames. They are factory pulls that look like new. Let me know if you are still looking,
Thanks,
Gary
