    Buffalo arrows

    I’m 1,000 % convinced you are on the right track. The meat eater podcast with Ed Ashby changed my life. I have no experience to add on buff hunting, but that’s what I would use. Good luck

    July Bowhunting Safari

    I did a lot of bow hunting on my first safari in 2007 and had tremendous luck, it is fun to really sit out in the African wilderness for extended periods of time, the wind changing can clear a waterhole very quickly.

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    Light rifles are bullshit once you have a big bore, the more you use and carry the 375 the more proficient you will get with it. Why risk ever being undergunned? They also work great on the tiny 10. If you want to keep spending $ you can always get better binoculars

    Average Shot Range in East Cape SA

    I would plan on being proficient out to 300-400 yards, I took some long pokes out to 260 with my 375, I will be going with a 200 yard zero next time. I wouldn’t cut the rifle to run the can, it’s not going to matter if it looks like a flag pole.

    Optics thoughts, Leica vs Leupold

    I have been underwhelmed with my Leica trinovid Bino purchase for what this is worth. I know it is there lower end but have always bought optics in that class from zeiss and leupold and truly find myself grabbing my vortex more often than not as the handling is superior. Go figure

    Gaiters or blousing garters?

    I wore full length gaiters from cabelas and treated them heavily with Sawyers, I’ve had lyme’s disease and do not want tick bite fever. They do make it easier to stomp through low mountain brush as well

    New custom rifle questions

    I hope so too, we have plenty of time to work out the kinks, he could’ve scored an entry level blazer for the price.

    New custom rifle questions

    The eastern cape, he will be running a can on the end so hopefully the recoil will be manageable

    New custom rifle questions

    The fact that vortex has the silly bell on the end tells you it’s not intended to be on an action as long as a 375

    New custom rifle questions

    The detachable magazine is scraping the side of the casing for the shells to the point there’s a noticable groove along the entire side of them, it’s occurring as they get picked up from the clip
