120 critters the first day?! Wow, great hunt. Thanks for sharing!
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Ryan,
Congratulations, those are some fine critters.

Hopefully we will cross paths in a couple of weeks and I can get the recounting firsthand.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Good stuff Ryan! Man you are really making me want to go back to Namibia. I was fortunate to take a big old eland bull but zebra have eluded me.

Glad you had a good time and a good hunt Ryan.  I sure enjoyed my hunt with them as well.  I am thinking of a trip over there next year. 
You got some great animals, that Kudu was very nice as well as the Impala.
Funny how each hunt is different.  When I was there, Antonie told me to shoot a Zebra if I got the chance.  He said they were hard to get with a bow.  Actually, I had several chances on my hunt.  I shot a nice one and videoed several others.
I would be glad to assist anyone else that wants to make the trip to Namibia.  Truly, a great place to hunt and from my experience the most affordable.

Thanks for sharing Ryan and keeping the fire burning to someday do an Africa hunt myself.
