Hi everyone. I live near Pittsburgh, PA, USA. I grew up in South Dakota and have lived in Iowa and Indiana.
As a kid I hunted small game, waterfowl, pheasants and deer. When I moved to Iowa, I began bowhunting and that is mostly what I do now.
I've been fortunate enough to hunt deer, pronghorn antelope, and bears here in North America. In 2008 I was blessed to be able to hunt in RSA with Srewart Dorrington at Melorani Safaris where I took 2 impala, 2 warthogs, a gorgeous kudu and a great blue wildebeest.
 
Welcome to AH gildy! Good to have another bowhunter amongst us. Share with us some of the trophies that you took in South Africa last year. Are you planning another hunting safari in Africa?
 
Welcome gildy and let your arrows fly straight!
 
I don't have a return trip planned yet, but I definitely want to go back. I never did get a gemsbok or zebra, so that is the excuse I am using for my wife. Next time maybe Namibia, although I would happily return to visit Melorani Safaris again.

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.
