Quote from: rastaman on July 17, 2026, 10:48:05 AMCan't wait to see the results! Have you got a group going with you this year Mike?

Yes another great group going with me again. Some first timers and some returning. My good friend Darryl Quidort is going and it will be great having him in camp.

This is my good friend Shawn Money that went with me two years ago and he is going back this year. He got a duiker with his recurve but I can't find the picture.

Got a package of big medicine today. Alan Altizer sent me these two Snuffers for my hunt that Roger actually made and gave to him. One he used to kill a deer with.

I'll be mounting these on a couple of shafts and run em through somethin in a few weeks.

This afternoon was fine tuning the brace height and nocking point on the bow to this arrow set up. Once I got it dialed in I glued on all the heads and made up some practice arrows and a judo. The one with the Grizzly is for Guinea fowl and baboons.
I then sharpened all the Snuffers to razor sharpness then gave em a coating of bear grease.
We leave the 10th of August.

Those are Douglas Fir and I'm sure Darryl will write on this.

I need an Nyala to finish the flintlock slam. All rest is what comes with recurve. Hoping for Duiker and Steenbok

Sharpened the last arrow to go in the box. All sharpened up, a Grizzly Broadhead for a Baboon. After all I've taken over there with this set up I had to throw one in for tradition.
