Default RE: anyone bow hunt africa

Thanks Jake, I really do thinkPure's bow is adequateunder certain conditions. Could you elaborate a little on your shots and animals. When you shot , for example, how were the animals positioned?

I've shot two kudus now with a 76 and 78pound bow. The first bull was exactly 30 yards and slighly quartering (nearly broadside). The second was 26 yards and completely broadside. Neither arrow completely passed through though. On my two gemsbuck, one arrow passed through, the second didn't-one was shot at 27 yards, the other was from 15 yards. I did not get a pass through on my wildebeast nor my eland. Botheland and wildebeastwere standing broadside at 40 yards, and I was using my 78 pound Stingray. Every shotwent through the ribcage and no large bones were struck. I had absolutely no problems on the impala/springbok size game. I was shooting a 440 grain arrow tip with a mechanical broadhead.
