With a heavy heart my wife and I have decided to leave here and move to the UK. This has been my home since I moved here as a 16 year old in 1977 and hers since she was born. Things have been good here for us but slowly (or not so slowly) things seem to be taking a downward trend, both economic...

A big hello from across the waters. Stumbled upon this site by chance, and what a refreshing site it is. Doesn't seem to have the constant bickering of other sites or the fear of asking questions that could get you flamed. I'm pretty new to bow shooting and have tons of issues I need resolved...

Got this email from John a little while ago. "I have a zebra and a blue wildebeest. Was drawing on a kudu bull this evening when a wildebeest stepped in the way and the opportunity was lost." Not bad for only having three days to hunt on the trip. Will be back next week. Mike

I just returned from my first trip to South Africa and thought I would share a few of my experiences. I hunted with East Cape Safaris in Somerset East, and I must say this has to be one of the greatest trips of any kind in my life! Nothing can quite compare to that first bull elk with a bow...

Ok looking to shoot heavier bow for our upcomming trip to africa and have the bow set at 62# at my draw 27.5" I normally shoot axis footed 500 spine shafts cut to 29" and they do wonderful at 55 and below. Now for the spine question I know I need a heavier spine, 400 would fit the bill nicely...

Hi folks, I’ve really been thinking about Africa the last few months. I didn’t think the Dark Continent bug’d ever smite me, but sure enough it’s beginning to seriously itch. I can comfortably handle 55 to 58#’s and my arrows will weigh in the 570-grain range. I’m confident that the outfit...

Hey folks, Let's do some Africa pictures, questions and answers. I know some of you have been over there too. Jump in, post some pics and let's talk about the dark continent. I've only got trophy photos saved on the computer and only from the last couple hunts. I've been over there 8 times so...

I just got back from South Africa and took 5 nice animals with my DAS. The DAS performed great. I had pass throughs on my impala and warthog. I shot through quartering away on a nyala and broke his off side shoulder and the arrow was sticking out a couple of inches. I also took a gemsbok and a...

Got home a couple weeks ago. Here are some of the critters I was lucky enough to get.
