Bos en Dal Safaris 20 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Just finished a bow hunt with a client from the US He used a Mission Rally bow set at 65lbs shooting Easton 400's arrows tipped with 100grn Thunderhead broadheads. He shot 4 trophies with the bow and also hunted a Good Reedbuck with the rifle. this was a 5 day hunt he was on. Hope to see some of our members soon!!!!

Born Hunter 17,809 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Impeccable timing. Great stuff! Got to say, hunting in Africa has never really appealed to me (even if I could afford it) but love reading/seeing reports of folks that do. More posts!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I really would love to hunt with a Bow. The field craft involved would make it worthwhile. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,809 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I really would love to hunt with a Bow. The field craft involved would make it worthwhile. But not so much the skill, just using one of the ancient hunting arts (albeit in it's modern high tech form) would be a very satisfying feeling to me as a hunter. I still think, in absence of legally being able to stalk a roe or red in English woodland, North America would be the place I'd want to bow hunt. Hell, if I could ever manage to leave the quintessential British hunting sports behind for another life, it'd be North America hunting with bow, hounds and a handfull of traps, hunting the way my ancestors did thousands of years ago. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I take it neither of you are fans?? Have a good day!! If you used the rest of the site you'd realise that bow hunting has created a bit of controversy recently. I don't think Socks' or Remmys comments on this thread were intended to be interpreted as anti bowhunting. More anticipation of the hornets nest it could stir up.

Fukc walking around North America with just a bow when there are grizzlies running around ... I had a .303 in my hand and I still. Wasn't happy .......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
