Back to Sofala
« on: August 08, 2023, 07:18:11 PM »
Were leaving Friday to go back to Sofala in South Africa. After completing my several year quest to take the South African Spiral Horn Slam with a sinew backed bow. I am going with nothing but the adventure on my mind and hope that a zebra hits the red dirt.

If you place an order with Pine Hollow Longbows after Thursday it will be close to the end of the month before you receive it.

I'm betting y'all have a great hunt Mike.  Best of luck to you.  The signal was sparse while we were there so good luck with posting, communicating with home.

Thank you! I hate to hear that. What was the problem?

Apparently power plant issues has much of the country in and out of electrical service.  Towers fo down because of it.  However we never lost power at the ranch. 
With this moon though, and as dry as it's been, I expect y'all will have good movement and action.

Yeah, I'm not sure I can ever top that week.  Four guys taking 14 animals was incredible.
But I'm sure Mike and his group will challenge thise numbers!

Enjoy.  Louis has something special going on with Sofala.  We didn’t make back there this year due to an elbow injury that is mostly healed. I was just talking with Louis this morning and finalizing details for our return next year though

Thanks David, I'm taking some of the arrows that you made me! And thanks again for all of the ones that have been ran through something!

Got it done on the zebra with the special arrow. Picture when we get back home. In Atlanta now waiting on the last flight and can’t figure out the picture deal on my phone.
