This was my first trip to Africa. It was awesome! I'm a bow hunter. I recently attended a class in Las Vegas about arrow penetration. I decided to bring two bows; a bow with light fast arrows and another with heavy arrows. I was more than surprised at the results. I made a video about my experience. This video is a gift to Hans de Klerk, its a thank you for the wonderful experience my wife and I had hunting with him. I hope that other first timers coming to Africa to bow hunt may avoid the mistake of bringing the wrong equipment. I also hope that other first timers choose a very reputable outfitter like Hans de Klerk. I hope you enjoy the video:



For questions about the hunt and things you should know to protect yourself...... you can reach me at my email at the end of the video.

I"d love to hear from you.

Hey Breen
Thanks for the kind words.
Happy hunting.
Hans
 
Congrats, and nice video!
 
Nice video. I had the same thought for my trip coming up this spring for my first safari. I found the Shaeffer performance archery sight and bought 2. They are removable but “snap”into place.
I have one set for Cape buffalo and one for Plainsgame. I have arrows for each to coordinate with. Was cheaper than 2 bows and easier to pack. At least that is my thought on it.
 
Nice video Africa sure is a fun places to bowhunt

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
