You nailed it Burnsie. It was rough. One morning there were only three different kinds of cookies/biscuits. Once we ran out of coffee in the blind on our morning sit. In fact one of the days I had to go almost THREE HOURS without eating! Despite the privation and hardship we managed to pull through.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. As a sponsor it means a great deal to me when one of our customers takes the time to report (hopefully) favorably on one of our Dryad ACS bows. So as a customer myself I wanted to favorably report on the guidance and suggestions of Neil Summers with Bowhunting Safaris (a sponsor), and on the great performance of Joe Furlong's TuffHead broadheads (also a sponsor here). While at Chattaronga I suggested to Philip that they should consider becoming a sponsor here too. Good products and service deserve prominent mention and fair reporting.

Also, thanks to everyone who suggested Africa as a great destination. I was convinced before going over there but am even more so now. The experience was wonderful. And when we're all lying on our death bed all we'll have are our memories. They might as well be filled with good ones!

Thanks for the post and reviews, makes me want to go back even more.

What length limbs are you using for your long draw and the 17" riser?

katman, I was shooting our XL limbs. At the BH I like for those limbs on that riser (8"-8 1/4") I need a 60" string, so the bow is 63" AMO. That combo of riser & limbs is schmoooth out to 32" draw length.
