Tsala knows night hunting, they assisted me with getting bush pig, civet, and honey badger all with a bow, and I also missed a genet which still haunts me! I hope to do a spotted hunt with them in the future.
Great adventure, thanks for sharing. Hope next time the dogs will not be lazy and leave it up to one dog to bay and hold, they all need to work as a team.
My set up was 73 pounds and 975 grain arrow and broadhead combo with 23% foc single bevel heads at 200fps with 20, 30, and 40 pins. 30 yard shot and only the lighted nock sticking out. Bull traveled 30 yards and went down in about 30 seconds after the shot.
I prefer a outfitter who owns his owns his property, he has more control over everything and will invest in quality hides and infastructure. No one wants to pour money in someone elses land.
I have bowhunted Namibia 4 times in Oct. and don't think there is less water then as my earlier trips. All water was from manmade sources even in July and the bush was parched. I had good hunts but some hunts had a daytime temp of excess of 110 F and not much game movement in the extreme heat...
I flew Qatar and it was my worst flight experience in 14 trips to Africa. Would much rather a direct flight from the states. Emirates was my second worst experience.
I expected to have possible flight issues with the 2.5 Blazer vanes and was ready to experiment with 4 & 5 inch and 3 and 4 fletch but they flew great with the short vanes and tuned to bullet hole through paper. 200 fps #73 I only had 20, 30 40 yard pins and my bull was shot at 30.
They were just cheap Victory carbons, I also slid a piece of rubber vacum hose from Napa that just fit inside for added weight, some nock collars and lighted nock. Penetrated 22 inches and stuck in off shoulder.
I used a 180 grain Grizzly single bevel (not to be confused with Grizzly Stick) and used JB weld to glue a 125 grain steel adapter in. I cleaned the inside of broadhead and the adapter with sandpaper and alcohol for a good bond, also used brass arrow inserts of 125 grain for more FOC. Also...
I shot my buffalo with 73# 975 grain arrow with 23% foc and a 180 grain grizzly singe bevel with a steel adapter for a total broadhead weight of 322 Arrow stuck in the off shoulder he went down in less than 2 minutes. arrow speed was 200fps
