that pedestal mount looks fantastic!

thx for the pictures Brickburn of the buffalo skeleton, very interesting!! as a lot of guys have noted, it has to do with the speed of the arrow that the bow produces, not the poundage of the bow. I have a 75 lb Bowtech Destroyer 350 that throws out a 700 grain arrow at an amazing 280 feet per...

funny looking bow? lol

congratulations Emily on your successful hunt, a father-daughter experience that will bring back many memories in the years to come. Kudos to you Dee on doing all the extra sacrifices to make this special trip happen.

HI Dee. I just finished a spot and stalk hunt with Sesembo Hunting Safaris in Namibia. It was very challenging, had lots of opportunities and finally got a shot on the 4th day, 45 yards on the herd stallion. With the herds it is tough to sneak in real tight, need to be able to shoot out to 60...

We get there hang the bait and set up the shooting lane and blind

Hunting Dog

Namibia Bow Hunting Hartmann's Mountain Zebra The carbon express maxima red is one tough arrow and the wound channel is huge with the arrow coming back out and those black hornet broadheads cutting all the way out, great design and first kill with this setup.

My tent overlooks the open plain and a waterhole

See eland herd, couple bunches of zebra, 30 hartebeest, a kudu herd with 2 shooter bulls, and a couple lone oryx bulls.

The fellow in the picture is a really good friend of mine, I guided him for 8 years up in Canada for whitetail and elk, he is a diehard hunter and well deserving of a great trophy.

here is my blog I did while I was there, hope you all enjoy. Namibia Hunt 2018 – Sesembo Hunting Safaris Daisy, my wife, and I made our plans to do a private photo safari with Ruan Botha, after my hunt with his outfit, Sesembo Hunting Safaris. May 25 came quick, as I left on my trip to hunt...

Congratulations, you guys took some beautiful animals, that sable is very impressive. great to hear your story, it only fuels everyone's desire to get back to Africa. Namibia is a fantastic place to hunt, I just got back from my second hunt there in May and I have already started planning for my...

Thanks for sponsoring this great hunt give-away. Kudos to WINTERSHOEK SAFARIS. I am heading back in 2 months for another African hunt, hopefully in 2 years might get the opportunity to go again.

with a shift like you noted, your left eye was taking over dominance due to your focus point, try closing or squinting your left eye if you have the problem again. I had the same issue when I tried a laser sight, for some reason my left eye took over focus and I was shooting 6" right at 25...

I am shooting a 435 grain arrow at 295 feet per second out of a 66 lb Bowtech Destroyer. Did a trip to Namibia in 2015. I had a couple of animals move just as I shot and still managed to get to the kill zone. If doing plains game, IMHO its best to have a faster arrow to hit the sweet spot of the...

just a note - there is a German Kinetics SilverFlame product and there is also the GrizzlyStik SilverFlame broadhead version. I had a catastrophic broadhead failure with the GrizzlyStik product when the ferrule rolled back after hitting an elk rib, broadhead disintegrated. Found out they only...

just a note - be sure you are using the German Kinetics SilverFlame product, as there is also the GrizzlyStik SilverFlame broadhead version. I had a catastrophic broadhead failure with the GrizzlyStik product, they only have a 1 year warranty as I unfortunately found out. I will do a separate...

true, but your scenario would have a huge difference in both KE and momentum if both at same speed.

HI MarkD, just curious, did you get a full pass through? I use DRTs and Magnus and both broadheads have performed great for me in Africa and in Canada.

take the chance and go with your bow only - spend the money on enjoying an extra day hunting or getting another trophy of your dreams, if you need the rifle a rental is right there.

I went to Namibia a year ago and only took my bow, no hassles in any of the customs, etc. bow and all gear in 1 bag. I used one of my PH's rifles, a 300 win mag with a suppressor, was a dream to shoot, no recoil, quiet and deadly accurate. I took 8 animals with the bow and 1 with the rifle...

congratulations OJ on a heck of "booner" oryx! now if only we could keep that luck going for those whitetail.

Let your friend know that the brisket is the lowest part of the ribcage on the animal.

your setup will work fine, you want to be just on the inside of the leg, 10-12" above the brisket, gets the top of the heart and a double lung everytime, a good broadhead will get a pass thru. on a 25 yard shot, a trick I use is to put my 40 yard pin right on the brisket line, that gets my 20...

I was in Namibia less than a year ago, 435 grain maxima reds with the fixed blade DRT broadhead, pass throughs on wildebeest and eland with no issues. your set up with fixed blade will work great, shot placement and animal position is key to making a good shot with a quick kill. good luck...

1 essential thing to add to your hunting setup is lighted nocks, these are invaluable is seeing how your arrows are flying and where you exactly the arrow hit on the animal, also helps if you are videoing your hunts.

absolutely fantastic work!! your elephants are amazing, your level of detail is incredible. I will PM you on doing work on elk ivories. Always wanted to have a bull elk on an elk tooth.

As per Lee M advice, definitely start shooting at 3D targets to get used to shooting by picking a spot on an animal, totally different than aiming at a dot. Also practice holding for up to 2 minutes then taking a shot, see how the accuracy does as the long holds happen a lot when hunting. Your...

I used the DRT, Magnus Stinger and Silver Flames for my Africa trip. All broadheads flew perfect and almost the same as my field points out to 50 yards, all 125 grain versions with the same Carbons Express Maxima red arrows. Silver flames had a bit more drop, 2" at 50 than the other 2. Took 2...
