Hello all. I found this forum researching both hunting Africa and Blaser R8s. Just here for the knowledge for now, but hoping to get to Africa in a few years when we are empty nesters. Thank you for letting me in.
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007

What are you wearing "Jake from VA?"
Not sure if that's what you were going for with the title, but it's the first thing that I thought of. Welcome to AH!

Greetings Jake from VA,
Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.
One of my sons lives a few miles outside of Lovettsville, VA.
He sometimes posts in this forum under his screen name of: DoubleLunger.
Mostly, he is an archer, lately switching from all these modern mechanical marvels (compound) over to traditional longbow, wood arrows, etc.
That said, he can also run any rifle like a stolen Porsche.
But, he just prefers to bow hunt more than any other way.
I guess that’s about all the news that’s fit to print around here.
Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
PS:
My smarty pants phone here just now went back to its old trick of only letting me post one picture or no picture at all.
So, I’m unable to post my son’s best longbow photos.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
