Thank you all for the good words.
I was very fortunate to get all those animals. Game on the 12000 + acre farm is beautiful and not crowded at all and seem very well managed so hunt is really pleasant.
I saw beautiful gemsbok and monsters red hartebeest and beautiful herds of black wildebeest.
I could get so many animals because the wind was permanent and was tricking the critters. Because they are really spooky and make the fun of the hunt.
The fact is Greg Edwards and his team are really professional and very friendly and are welcoming traditional archers. Though, good practice is really needed from ground and 10 to 15 feet high elevated blinds and mosts shots will be in the 15 to 25 yards.
Last, i am totally amazed by those monster 300 gr Big Jim broadheads 1 1/2" wide. To be honest i was wondering about arrow penetration. Indeed, it worked perfectly for my set up: around 60# @ 31" and 670 gr finished arrows.

God bless you all
Hope to go back soon...

Nice critters! I would love to be there now. Shootin them piggies are my favorite.

Another customer of mine recently shot a doe with a BigJim BH and he too was amazed by the carnage. Maybe I too can have some harvest success with them this year.
I know you had fun and thanks for the kind testemonial, BigJim

those 1,5" wide BH are really fantastic and the penetration i got with my set up close to 60# @ 31,5" and 670 gr finished arrow was terrible. Arrow speed with the set up through a chrono is a little above 180 fps with both bows in real shooting conditions (not fancy overdraw chrono shots...)
I passed through with exit hole all the games except elan (stuck into opposite rib thick)
I was resharpening them every day after shot with light strokes on a fine coarse arkansas stone and a little of gun barrel oil and then leather strop. Shaving sharp within 5 minutes.
Elan and kudu were shot with the exact same BH !!
IMO you are dead-on with those monster heads. Thanks for making it.
