Two fantastic trophies with traditional archery gear

Nico said that this gentleman made his own custom bow and arrows. The draw weight was 80lbs., and the total arrow weight was just under 900 grains including a 200 grain, solid, 2-blade broadhead.

The arrows are Easton Full Metal Jacket Dangerous Game arrows. I have some of those same shafts and with fletches that look almost the same. Mine weigh in at 844 grains with a 150 grain BH and nocturnal nocks, so those are probably very similar to mine and likely within an inch of the overall length. His do not have the nocturnal nocks. My guess would be 250 spine on the arows and 31" long.
 
so cool
 
Wow, impressive achievement! Congrats to the hunter, and PH for pulling this off.

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]
