Tracy, if you have another arrow set that works great i suggest to stick with it AN USE A 2 BLADE HEAD, an put the griz sticks a side. Your leaving in a month for Africa you dont need any distraction prior to ur hunt. Right now you should be fine tuning ur shooting not getting aggravated with a bad set up, Trust me when you get there your going to have a lot pressure on you with a PH looking over ur shoulder,an you dont need this distraction now. I tried grizs in my bows for the same trip, they just don`t work for me in my bows, i shot carbon exspresses instead. You dont need a special arrow for Africa in less ur hunting the big stuff. Most important is being ready when you get there, every arrow you shoot has $$$$ attached to it so you better put it at the right spot .Thats what counts...GOOD LUCK
