Yea just a little left at 60 yards but has a light breeze too. The arrows came out a little heavier then I wanted but 518grns at 290 fps is pretty solid numbers.

What kind of sight are you using? Any issues finding the proper sight tapes for a heavier arrow?

Using a 5 pin spothogg hog it with small housing. My other bow has a hogg father and is shooting 375grn arrows. It came with a sight tape calculator shoot at 20 for a zero then shoot at 60 and see what letter it's on and that's the tape.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
