Here is a short clip of a successful Cape buffalo hunt with one of our repeat clients we affectionately refer to as "Uncle Ken". Uncle Ken did not feel he was up to the physical challenge of potentially crawling around through the brush and thorns for a week, so he opted to hunt his buffalo from a hide which we were happy to oblige.... Uncle Ken made a very good, slightly quartering-to, shot that resulted in another great old bull in the salt with a bow and arrow. Congrats Uncle Ken!

 
Congrats Uncle Ken. Us old guys may need a few concessions as far as our hunting methods go but we can obviously still place our shots on target.

OLD GUYS RULE!
 
Ugh! I NEED to go back to Africa... watch those Limcroma guys, I caught a horrible disease from them and I’ll never be the same. Africa is forever in my blood!! Awesome hunt and video!
 
Great job Uncle Ken! Perfect shot. Congrats! (y)
 
Great video, got me pumped up for my buff hunt in August
 
Nice vid, thanks for sharing!
 
Thanks for sharing. Do you know what weight arrow and broadhead he used?

Uncle Ken was using a Grizzlystik arrow shaft with a 200 grain Bishop Archery, 2-blade, single-bevel head. The total arrow weight was just over 950 grains.
 
Great video and congrats to Uncle Ken! I can't wait to get back and hunt with you guys again maybe after my NZ Red stag and Tahr hunt next year.

@Kusko

Ken was using this arrow above with a draw weight of only 65lbs. at a 28" draw length. The heavy arrow with significant foc distribution and the right broadhead is the key to generating the momentum necessary for good penetration. His arrow sunk to the fletches.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
