    Archery in South Africa

    I've only flown Qatar and Delta. That sounds ridiculous. I just got back 4 days ago. The last 5 times I always pack my bow in a duffle and pad it with clothes. I have my arrows in a tube in the same duffle along with broad heads and any other accessories. I've never ever been questioned...

    South Africa Bowhunting Recommendations

    Hi Adipose, Sorry I didn't see this before I left as I would have been happy to take over those treats. I will do a report soon on both my Bushmen and Dries Visser trips. If you look back at last year you can find my trip report on African Arrow.

    South Africa Bowhunting Recommendations

    I plan on hunting with the top bow hunting only operations over there in the future so this is an interesting thread. I have hunted with Dries Visser multiple times and will be hunting with him again in a couple of weeks along with another trip to Bushmen Safaris who I visited in 2021. I...

    Thanks for sharing. Great writeup. "The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa- for he has so much to look forward to." Richard Mullin.

    What broadheads is everyone bringing to Africa this year?

    Iron Will's. The best there is in my opinion. I have shot numerous plains game and 2 buffalo with them. They do the job every time.

    Taxidermy from Argentina

    Argentina is probably one of the worst and most expensive places to get your trophies back from. My understanding is they only have two brokers that handle these over there and so they basically have the market cornered. All the added b.s charges are ridiculous. More is better over there as...

    SOUTH AFRICA: A month in Africa with 3 different safaris

    Last day. Decided to give a shot at red lechwe walk and stalk. No luck. Sat a blind later hoping for golden oryx. Tim shot a nice waterbuck.

    SOUTH AFRICA: A month in Africa with 3 different safaris

    On day 8 we had some other hunters show up in camp. It was nice to have someone else to talk with and they were great people. Billy and Savanna. Billy makes his own bows and all his arrows including using flints he finds for broad heads. If he looks familiar you may have seen him on the first...

    SOUTH AFRICA: A month in Africa with 3 different safaris

    That night when we got back to the lodge Karen was nearby. I asked her if they had any luck tonight. She said yes, Tim had shot. I asked what? She said, I don't know you'd have to ask him. This was weird as Karen is not a hunter but had really gotten into this trip going to the blind...

    SOUTH AFRICA: A month in Africa with 3 different safaris

    The next morning we head out to the same blind as last night as we had seen a nice kudu there before and hopefully we would see it again for Mattie. Barb stayed in again for the morning hunt. Guess who shows up? Yep Mr buffalo. Same attitude. He would stare at the blind and just burn a...

    SOUTH AFRICA: A month in Africa with 3 different safaris

    That evening I was talking about that Cape buffalo as Barb wasn't with us in the blind that evening. Barb said you should shoot him if you see him again. I told her I wasn't set up for it. In 2019 it was my main focus. I built a specific arrow for buffalo and tipped it with a 250 grain Iron...
