Nice shooting Arvy. What draw weight did you use and what did the arrows weigh?

Pearl that bow weighs 47 @my 26 . Arrow weight 575 gr. . The Nyala run off with arrow stuck out both sides. The Wilderbeast . Well my shot was one of those bad but great shots. He dropped in his tracks. He managed to get turned 180* and I put one thru the shoulder . Two more breaths and that was it for him. That spine shot sure made the guide happy. He said those things usualy run for ever after they get shot.the Nyala ran about 60 yards. Had the  time of my live shooting at those geese. JT  Richard insisted on taking that pic before dark. You can see my eyes and mind where on the geese in the air. ;D can't brag on geese hunting. Shot 49 shells got three geese. :-\ the wind was blowing about 25-30 and the geese where either going 90 to nothing or nearly in a stall. Just could not get my rhythm down. But what a fun time. A couple pics of tent camp.

Ok one more . The ryno was checking me out inside a blind that looked like a
Gilagans Island hut. Made from river cane. This was a white ryno so nothing to fear but interesting.
This was the best hunting experience in my life. I have been blessed with some real good ones too.

That's too light for African big game Arvy, it'll never work :)
