You guys ready for a follow along bowhunt in South Africa?
I'll be there in a month and try to post daily while I'm there to allow you to tag along.

Fire is going and coffee is on..... Thank you.

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

Maclean

Oh heck yeah Mike! Can't wait to see the pics and hear the stories. Thank you sir!

I sure will follow along. Maybe it's old age but lately I have had the desire to do something like a safari. Just being there would be exciting to me.

Mike Yancey

It will be good to be back posting stuff again. I'll be working on arrows the next few days and sharpening Broadheads. I'll take you along.

Ryan Rothhaar

Good broadhead choice!

These sunrises are what makes you keep going back year after year.

Terry,
They are Woody Weights and I've sold them for years. They don't make em anymore, like most good things. But I still have a few on the website. They work great on wood shafts getting the weight forward.

Cooking bacon wrapped Zebra fillets on the coals the last night there last year. Best tasting meat over there along with Eland!

This is a sampling of the food pictures that I'll be posting from Sofala in less than a month. Five star dining experiences every night and many times the breakfast lunch or brunch are equally amazing.
If you ever go once, you'll be hooked for life.

Blinds are 11-12 yards from the water holes. Can you make that shot?

Mike Yancey

All the early years that I hunted over there and was completing the Spiral Horn Slam with a sinew backed Osage bow that I made. Now that I've completed the slam I went with whatever I want. There is so much fun to be had doing it.
This wildebeest fell last year to the same set up that I'm using this year. Original Tall Tines Recurve and Original Snuffer.

What weight is your Tall tines? Does Africa have a minimum draw weight of the bow and arrow weight?

56@26. I think there is a minimum weight but haven't looked into it in a long time. More so for dangerous game than plains game.

The things you'll see from the blinds.

Can't wait to see the results! Have you got a group going with you this year Mike?
