I'm bringing two different arrows with me to Africa next week, carbon and wood.

Single bevel heads. 17% foc on wood and 28% on the carbon. Both arrows are just over 600grs.

Pat,
Only have a few animals on my wish list this time. I'll have to see what tickles my fancy this trip(I'll be going back two more times this summer.) I'll write up a nice report when I return !

I'm sure both will work just fine. Good luck. Africa is a very special place!!!

3 times in one year? Do you go there for work or something?

Yes and no. I'm a full time taxidermist. I book hunters and go along to make sure everything runs smoothly. It's a working hunt.
