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...

Well done for your buff. I'm going to humani next year in September to try to get a buff with a bow as well.

Hi Ben, Thanks. I was hunting with wildernis safari, I posted the link of the website on one of my post earlier. I'm using a PSE Carbon Mach 1 set at 81lbs, 29.5" DL. Easton Axis Pro 260 spine, 3 AAE max stealth left helical, 75gr brass insert, 25gr Iron Will collar and 125gr QAD Exodus...

I'm using the Qad Exodus 125gr. They performed very well.

Day 1, 2 & 3

Just came back from a 7 days bow hunt in the north of Namibia. Here is the link of the youtube video of the first 3 days of hunting: I'm still editing the video from the day 4 to day 7. I had an amazing time and it was in the middle of the impala and kudu rut. I managed to get 11 animals...

Thanks for the advice on the BH. I'll order some cutthroat and DG tuffhead and do some field testing on bone. The bishop is an excellent BH but overpriced. I'll post the result once I receive the BH. I've shot a few arrows through the chrono this morning and calculated the momentum of each...

@Limcroma Safaris thank you for the reply and advise. Indeed, buffalo and giraffe are not prone to jump the string, so the speed is not a concern anymore. At the moment my set up is as followed: Goltip kinetic kaos 200 spine. TAW is 948gr and FOC is 28%. However, I'm not sure about the broadhead...

Hi, I'm building an arrow for 2 upcoming hunts (giraffe and cape buffalo on walk and stalk). I'm shooting a PSE Carbon Mach 1 at 79lbs and 30". I've shot these 3 arrows through my chrono and they tune and group well. Arrow 1: 855gr with 250gr Cutthroat @232fps. Momentum is 0.880 Arrow 2...

Good news. Does it means that the border will be open by end of May?

10 days hunting trip to Namibia was scheduled to start on the 1st of May but it will never happen so we moved the date from mid August to end of August. Fingers crossed it will work out... Still 3 1/2 months away, so anything can happen. Namibia has only 12 cases of civid 19 since the start ...

I went to Botswana (bokamoso safari) in August 2018 for a bowhunting safari. I highly recommend this place for bowhunters. Here is the link of the quick review I made: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/botswana-bowhunt-bokamoso-safari-bowhunting-paradise.45042/

Africa Sun Safaris

Thanks everyone for the offers. Just booked my safari for end of August 2019.

Thanks for all the replies.

Hello, I would like to book a bow-hunting safari next year is SA/ Botswana or Namibia. The dates will be from the 25.08.19 to the 01.09.19 (during the dark moon preferably, but the dates are a bit flexible). I'll be looking for plains game only... But the priority on the list will be a trophy...

Here are the videos of my bowhunting trip in Botswana at Bokamoso Safari.

Just received a pic from our PH Richard at Bokamoso Safari, he got the kudu I saw on the first day with another client. What an awesome Kudu, a trophy of a lifetime! He has 58 inches.

Richard Pealce was the PH, he was excellent throughout the safari. Yes, a lump of thorns was stuck to him, when I first saw him I thought he was injured. That was a monster Kudu, we never saw him again and he was the biggest one we saw on the 7 hunting days. We probably saw 10-12 kudu's over 50''.

Just returned from a 7 days hunting trip from Bokamoso Safari in Botswana. I was there with my father Thierry, my brother in law Julien and a friend from France Marcel. I was going to bow-hunt for 7 days while the others will be hunting with riffles. Marcel brought his bow as he was keen to...
