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/

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.
I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.
Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?
I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?
Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
