    I'm headed back to Africa in about a year. This time I'm taking my bow and going after Nyala and sable as my 2 trophies, plus whatever might trip my trigger. I shoot 29in at 65 to70lbs, looking for a quality arrow for this hunt. I'm planning on using tooth of the arrow broadheads. I currently...

    My first trip and mistakes were made

    They simply just were not the animal I had in my mind. They are however, very spooky with excellent eyesight. I'm sure had I hunted them it would have been a challenging hunt.

    How Do Y'all Pay for these Safaris?

    My philosophy is, when you have money spend it like your broke, and when your broke spend like your broke. I'm financing my trip to RSA by any type of side work I can get. Plowing driveway in thd winter, scraping metal, whatever I have to do. It helps when you have a goal in mind.

    Christian arms 6.5 creedmore

    I have I ca in 6.5cm and found that it really really needed 100 rounds down the pipe to start shooting good groups. It went from 2in+ to 1/2 to 3/4 moa. So far it has liked all the different load combos I've tried.

    Is there an African animal you wouldn't shoot?

    I think it's good to have a list of animals that we would not shoot. I feel that keeps us in the moral ground of hunters instead of killers. That being said, I wouldn't shoot a giraffe. They look perfect standing upright instead of on the ground.

    6.5 creedmore???

    If I may ask what bullet did your son use?

    6.5 creedmore???

    For a plains game hunt consisting of Zebra, gemsbuk, blue wildebeest and blesbuck, is a 6.5 creedmore with heavy bullets an adequate round. I shoot a lot and it's by far the gun I shoot the best. I also have a 270win that is at the ready if that's a better option. Thank you, Brad
