I could not try to make a list. I will say that most of the outfits I have hunted with try to set up for a 20 yard shot.
That is further than I want to shoot.
Most of the time I have been able to shorten that distance with brush, salt or bait to get it down to around 15 yards.
Another thing I have done several times is that if the shot doesnt look good to me is to take a bag target to the blind, set it up at the water and shoot it a few times just to get my head around the shot

video from this year
you will see that a couple of his blinds were way to far from the water. We built a tree stand from fence posts to close the distance.

Mate, I love the looks of hunting those impalas (one of my favourites). In particular, where was that? Are outfitters cool with hunting multiple impala?

You can kill as many as your wallet will allow on most places Ben. See if you can find somewhere that has some "cull" animal options.

Also look at shooting a few females if you want some horns for less $. Eg. Wildebeest, Red Hartebeest, Springbuck, Blesbuck
There is more to the Hunt.. then the Horns

I have hunted with alot of good outfitters and a few bad ones.

Dries Vissor is as good as it gets if your pockets are deep enough

I have had some good hunts with Dare to Bowhunt
and with Lenyati Safaris

Both offer cull hunts which Offer you the chance to shoot several animals without spending alot of money

My 2012 trip was with Dannie Massey
