Title: Biggie's African Romp.....
Post by: Terry Green on July 22, 2004, 04:06:00 PM
I didn't ask Biggie if I could post this here, I just did it anyway.  He might be big enough to whoop me, but he'll have to catch me 1st.    "[laffsmyl]"  

Anyway, his hunt is definately a testimony of Trad Bow effeciency, as well as hunter effeciency.  Biggie went SEVEN for SEVEN!

Tip of the Hat sir.....I'm tickled for ya to say the least.  Hope you got some footage of your trip.

Nice work, MR. Biggie!  :)  Is that the Woodsman or the Razorcap that was used?

Thanks guys...
I'd heard some grumblings about trad guys being "less than accurate" I was determined to make a good showing for trad bowhunting. Like Uncle Don Thomas says, "ya gotta wait till they ask for your arrow."
Great hunt, great food, great people, Dries Visser Safaris.

Cograts,I'm sure the memories will last a lifetime.What bow arrow combo did you use and what was the average shot distance?


Thanks,
CB

Didn't say I was gonna run you down (although don't underestimate me remember a grizzly can run 30 MPH) I just said I was gonna catch ya.  :saywhat:  

Holding you and waiting for Biggie to show up shouldn't be to much trouble unless your all greasy from eating fried ocra or something.   "[tunglaff]"

Biggie if you don't mind how big was the Impala ? ( have a thing for them) the horns look close to 24" and the bases are large .never saw the bases of Imapla before and those are solid ---- herb

CB, used a 65# Black Widow longbow, the 350 heritage shaft from 3 Rivers (650 grains) Razorcaps Broadheads.
All shots were under 20 yards.

The Impala was 25". My good friend Marty McMahon from Florida took a 26+"er that is number 8 in SCI with hs Robertson. Couldn't have ahppened to a nicer guy........
