I haven't hunted Africa with a bow, but some old rifle-hunting friends invited me to join them on a 2017 hunt.
I would be the only bowhunter, but I love these folks and have hunted both stateside and in Africa with them. We get along, even in tough circumstances.
I very much want to go.
Our PH doesn't normally cater to bowhunters, but he is a great guy, and thinks he can make it work. I've never known Danie to blow smoke, so I'm inclined to believe him.
He understands that I need to be inside 30, and preferably around 20.
There won't be any issues among us clients about who shoots what, or who gets more attention. We're real close friends.
Soooo....for you experienced Trad African hands, do you see any problems here that I haven't considered?
Also, I'm shooting a 53# Sarrels BlueRidge, with ~600g arrows. My main quarry will be zebra and gemsbok/oryx.
Reckon I ought to get Bob to make me some heavier limbs? I can shoot 60+, but I can shoot 53 all day.
Any advice appreciated.
