Any input regarding bowhunting for Gemsbok? Obviously as everyone has stated, placement is key and even more so with an arrow. But what about the arrow construction and broadhead. I'll probably use my crossbow for this species and I'm throwing 460gr @ 320fps for just over 100ft-lbs of energy. 2-blade cut on contact broadhead (just over 1.5" wide).
Any anecdotal advice?
 
I think you have it covered, a well placed shot and the gemsbok won't go far. They taste great! Have fun!
 
Your set up is more than enough, you'll shoot clear through and then some if you don't hit heavy bone. Good luck, I shot mine with a 520 grain arrow at 225 Fps and shot through, he traveled about 100 yards.

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.
