My list is

- Kudu
- Gemsbok
- Eland
- Zebra
- Blue Wildebeest
- (Maybe) Sable

Bringing my own rifle. 300 Win Mag, Fierce Edge. I am a competition shooter and can shoot off of bipods, various seated and kneeling positions with complete confidence. Shooting sticks.... I hate them lol But I have been told I may need to do some practice with those.

You would be fine. Enjoy the hunt

Shooting off sticks IMHO has it's own nuances that must be overcome. For me it was a totally unnatural feeling. Start with a small bore, or you will waste a lot of expensive ammo.

welcome aboard. I'm headed to HuntersHill this May. I share your confidence with bipods and your hatred of sticks. Sadly almost all your shots are off sticks. At least you can get some practice off sticks before you leave. Here in Ottawa it is damn cold to be practicing even in the spring

Welcome to the dark side from a fellow Canadian. As others have said, get used to shooting off sticks. Your PH will expect you to be proficient on using them. Make sure you take a journal so you can post a hunt report when you return. Good luck and enjoy.
