I recommend to have a look at Dr. Ashby research and tests on actual trophy size buffaloes (https://www.ashbybowhunting.org/ashby-reports), with penetration enhances arrows (all penetration enhancement elements in place; see the attached 2019 update), and how a properly set up arrow can make up for a certain amount of poundage difference (e.g. a 65# bow, with a penetration enhanced arrow system, is equivalent to "higher"# bow shooting none-penetration enhanced arrows).

My two cents.
I have a question for our friends PH's about Cape Buffalo arrow REAR shot placement as indicated above.
Given the potential "cunning-unfriendly" nature of the beast, and the tendency that once wounded, it might turn "uncooperative" during the whole process of trying to down it; DO YOU REALLY RECOMMEND TO SHOOT A BUFFALO IN THE A....S WITH AN ARROW?

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.
