In memoriam - Pieter Erasmus from Pawprint Safaris passed away

Really enjoyed my two hunts with Pieter in 2014 and 2016. He introduced me to Africa and gave me the return bug. I’ll always remember the excitement he had after i got my bow Kudu. I think he was as happy as i was. A special man. I’m still in disbelief he has passed. Here is a post hunt harvest photo with Pieter and our PH’s and hunters.

Sad news about Pieter's passing, I hunted with Pawprint in 2018 with Charlie, Bill, Toby and my Father. He was a gracious host and did everything he could to make our African dreams come true. It is a true loss to the hunting community.
 
I just found out about Pieter. We hunted there twice with him.
Very sad to hear this. Very good, honest man and outfitter.

We all had a great trip!

Pieter also introduced me to hunting Africa. He was a great guy. He told me he wanted to "make hunting Africa available to the working man". He did that for me definitely. He was also a wealth of great knowledge. I wish him a beautiful eternity with God and I wish peace for his sister and his girlfriend.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
