Not so sure if i should keep them on my list for this year after watching this, being new to hunting.

I think pigs of all kinds make great first animals. Just don't think they are slow and stupid!
 
Likely a good lesson to keep shots to 20 yards or so.
 
They are quick but the bow looked kind of slow too. Impala amaze me how fast they are. Like a spring ready to go all the time.

Bow is 279fps....not slow at all. They are just that fast.
 
That's moving pretty good. Maybe I should take my other bow when I go. I'm shooting a hair over 300fps, might have to take the other at 320 to get a little less in Flight time
 
Yes, I'd say few people have actually ever chronographed their bow and don't realize how "slow" it likely is. Manufacture's speeds are let's just say a bit over inflated. Even with my 70-pound bow and light arrows I'm only hitting 317.
 
I'm pretty big in to tuning and I've only seen a few bow makes hit their ibo. My last hunting rig was hitting 290fps with a 470grn arrow. My 60lb target set up for hunting is 300-305fps with 370grn arrows.

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.
