I am hunting Eland this September. I am using a Tenpoint Stealth NXT shooting a 500 gr arrow at 385 FPS. The KE of this setup is approx. 165 ft lbs at zero yds and 155 ft lbs at 30 yds.
My choice of broadhead is a Slick Trick Crossbow 150 gr.
What have you used?
 
450 grain arrow # 63 Bowtech Assasin at 270 fps and Magnus Stinger 4 blade. Complete penetration at 20 yards.

Terrific! I guess my setup will be OK.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
