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:

Does onestringer have the middle crested piece, or did you buy a full wrap and cut it in half?
