Title: Off To the Dark Continent...even though I thought about staying home.
Post by: Horne Shooter on August 11, 2009, 10:03:00 PM
I began planning a trip to Africa about two years ago.  I have been once before (back in 1996) when I shot wheelie bows - had a great time.  This time I booked my trip with some buddies that I hunt with from Canada.  They are halarious and do a great job of producing videos of their hunts.  I'm the only trad guy on the trip.  

Well (news flash!) the economy has pretty much tanked and I really should be staying home.  Money is WAY tighter now then when I started this process.  But "dang it" I'm still going!  I saved the money- stashed it away and used credit card miles to buy the plane tickets.  
Here's my set up for the trip.
ACS 62# at 29 1/2"
CE 250's with Abowyer Wapiti 175's
Total arrow wgt 715
New KME Sharpener to get them ready.
I take off September 8th and will be home on the 22nd.
Hope to have some good photos and video to share with you guys when I get back!

I hope you have a fantastic journey.  Be sure to take plenty of pics for those of us who can only dream of Africa.
