Those look great, can't deciede which I like more.  The copperheads I think.  So, what's on your wish list?

Will be looking forward to reading about your experience. Many of these experiences are so grand and well communicated that guys like me feel as if we got a free trip.

Best of luck and may the mystical African experience shed its light on you.

This isn't my first trip. I was there in 2000, but I hunted w/ handguns. This will be my first trip w/ the bow.

Well you've got 2 of the best lookin' MadDog bows, and 2 different groups of the best lookin' GT Blems out there.  Get that zebra and use some of it to cover that white quiver ya got and it'll be complete..   :thumbsup:  

Good luck, and if ya need the name of a taxidermist just let me know.  :laughing:    :laughing:
