Hi guys I got my kudu bull this weekend with my longbw. Iused my pse legacy longbow 42#@27. with a gt 500 sipne arrow 100gr brass insert and 225 gr zwickey delta broadhead. The bull went 35 yards and piled up. I got full penetration,with the broadhead sticking out the far side.

Excellent! My favourite African animal! Congratulations, and many happy returns of the day! Whereabouts were you hunting (region)?

I will be taking my Hoyt Game Master II to SA in August.  It is 55 @ 28" and my arrow will be a 30" 340 FMJ, 50 gr brass insert with a Zwickey Delta on a steel adapter. They weigh 650 grains.

It sounds like they will do the trick!
