    SOUTH AFRICA: BOWHUNT: Black Death With A String & A Sharp Stick

    Gerry is spot on! I too, have hunted all over the world and these accommodations were amazing. Coming back home to microwave meals and PB&J sandwiches was rough. (Don't tell my wife, I told her we were roughing it.)

    ZAMBIA: RIFLE: BOWHUNT: Buffalo Hunt In Zambia Review

    I put a call into my bow shop to ask. I know they added pipe cleaners to the arrows to increase their weight. I got great penetration, but it was a terrible shot. I just got lucky and hit a major vessel. I'll report back once I hear from them.
