Hello everyone,

I'm Paolo from Italy, working and living in Mauritania (West Africa), long bow man since 18 years, bow hunter since 10. I use only traditional American semi-longbow with wood arrow, I have three semi-longbow: a Danilo Milesi "Howard" 63#@28", a Howard Hill "Big 5" 70#@28" and a Howard Hill "Tembo" 80#@28". Here in the south we have a fair amount of games, albeit mostly ungulates (Oryx, Topi, Dama, Addax) few warthogs and some feline like leopards, cheetas, caracals.
I hope to share my experiences with other fellows.

Paolo

Not being a Traditional guy myself I have been around some of my ex clients "now great friend" who are. These guys are so disciplined in the game.

Welcome to the best forum Paolo.

I salute you for your preference of traditional archery.

If God had meant fur us to shoot our food with compound bows, he would have made the trees with aluminum, plastic, cables and pulleys.
 
Welcome to AH Paolo! Enjoy the site.
 
Welcome to AH.

Looking forward to hearing of some of your hunts.

All the best.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
