water/cape buffulo with stone points........ has it been done??
ozy clint:
i've asked this question on a traditional forum and it seems that nobody knows if it's been done or if it is possible. is it possible to make a point/arrow combo tough enough for this task? what selfbow weight would you consider to be the minimum? primitive buffulo... sounds like the ultimate test of equipment. BTW if it's been done, any photos?

I've never heard of it in modern times and doubt the regulations in Africa would permit it.

hmmmm, interesting lets just say that it would be legal what it would it take to get the job done.
large tough beast of a creature with a bad enough attitude to charge and kill ya when hes in a good mood. rifles are hard enough to kill one of them with, so lets think about it for a bit here.
me first off o would learn too shoot one of them monster poundage warbows. get me some seriously heavy arrows for good penetration,have the greatest knapper alive
make some of ther finest points from the best rock and large enough to do the most damage and still allow good pentaration.
then i would hire me someone else to due the hunt for me cause i still wouldnt want to piss one of them off with a bow and arrow lol. i know how bad i would be shaking getting close enough to one of them to attempt it, my arrow would probably hit him in the hinnie when i aimed at the shoulder.
i think it has been done with wheelie equipment, inkow some of them co.'s make safari type equipment.
next time i talk to BJ from BJ outdoors i'll ask him. he does alot of africa guided hunts for his show.
yup this is gonna be a good thread i believe.

Tim, I volunteer, let me know when you get the hunt booked. ;D
I know it has been done with Traditional equipment in the rescent past. I would do it in a heart beat. I want a 90# bow and I already have the 900 grain shafts. They recommend a 2 blade so it can slide between the ribs so a stone point would be just great. Justin

If I did it, I would want to be soooo, close, butt leaking, close, to make a good shot. :-\ And soooo, hidden that the big brute thought some big bug stung him. If not, I think you would be stomped in some deep Water buffalo Doo-Doo.
