Congratulations!
How are you thinking of mounting it?
 
Second pic looks like you’re riding it like a horse.

Nice, and with a bow!
 
Congrats! What’s your setup? Draw weight? Arrow grains?

Thank you sir. 75lb mathews lift. 29.5 inch draw. Black eagle rampage arrows with weighted inserts and an 250 grain iron will buff. Total arrow weight of 850 grains 20% front of center. Straight up the leg center of the shoulder pass through. Watched him fall inside 50 yards

Fantastic
Congratulations
It's a great sperimen and you did in the most challenging way
Also with a "still doable" poundage, definitely meaning that perfect arrow placement and bow tuning are the keys
Super
 
Nice! I'm planning a hunt for water buffalo next month and I'll be building some heavy arrows in the next week or so.
 
So after a LOT of online reading, I've been convinced that high FOC doesn't increase penetration but is rather a byproduct of heavy arrows that tend to have most of the weight up front. I'm going to try and build mine heavy with high but not excessive FOC. Wish me luck as I have a pretty short draw length.
 
To the OP ...I am admittedly jealous ...OK envious. Your Buff is my dream buff with all of the characteristics I am looking for ..love the drop it has. Where was it taken?

Thank you I have wanted to hunt buffalo for years. Limpopo right on the Botswana boarder

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
