First Trip to South Africa Advice

Everyone has covered the hunt well, but I'd just like to add preparing for the hunt, i.e., shoot off of sticks, shoot off of sticks and shoot off of sticks. I only practiced a few times before going. Now I practice every time I go to the range trying to do it quicker and further.

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

Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
