I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days in a blind last week.

The dark moon phase in August is always a good time in the hide.

I tested the 125gr Viper Tricks from Slick Trick.

They were on my Carbon Express Maxima 350 arrows for a total arrow weight of 450gr.

My 2010 Bowtech 350 Destroyer at 70# shoots the arrows at 308fps...

Early Wednesday morning in the blind and I finally got the Gemsbuck bull I have been looking for...

After dropping him at the skinning shed I jumped into another hide for looking for an impala ram but when after a couple of hours this boy presented the shot I could not resist.

The Gemsbuck was 36 and the Kudu 53 1/8

The Viper Tricks performed perfect with straight line penetration busting ribs on entry and exit on both animals.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
