Biggie...we need to chat.

That is just plain awsome my man.

I'm making no recommendations on broadhead choice, just letting everyone know what my experinces were on my trip. I shot both 3 blade heads (snuffers & woodsmen) as well as 2 blade heads (Magnus and Zwickey) I saw no difference in performance, Pass thru on Gemsbok with 3 blade,Tommy passed thru Zebra with 2 blade. Unfortunately on our trip,3 animals were hit in the scapula, 2 with 2 blade and 1 with 3 blade, NONE were able to get adequate penetration to leave more than a flesh wound. My take from the experience is that placement far outweighs broadhead type. Just my experience, not looking to cause controversy.

We were shooting 58# recurves and longbows with 700-750grain arrow set up.

Best to All

Wayne,
How far away were the animals that got hit in the scapula?

P.S. Placement trumps everything!  Make sure and practice out of a blind or dark environment.  It makes a difference.

Idahoeyes,
I would say 15yds give or take a few yards on 2 of them and 18-20 on the other.

Terry, TBG banquet? See you there.......

Them critters just don't look as large with Biggie sitting behind the as they do when Too Short is peering over the top of ones back.      Joseph

Hey Biggie, Sounds like you had a great hunt. I'm calling you today. We done good too. Three trad bowhunters 100% recoveries. It's much nicer with those results.

I've always used two blades in Africa untill this year. I tried the Wensel Woodsmans and experienced good results on the two animals I shot. Eland bull total pass thru. Zebra stallion angling away buried to crest in far shoulder.
Watched eland go down. Would have seen zebra, but brush blocked the view.

The other guys I hunted with used two blades with great success also. Grizzlys and STOS.

Denny, How much poundage-arrowweight did you use for that ?

Jacob

Hey Jacob,I used a 76# PLX and CX heritage shafts weighing 700 grains.

Thank you sir, just curious !

Jacob

WOW Biggie,
Awesome!!!!!  What was your exact set-up in terms of bow draw length and weight, arrow type and weight, broadhead type and weight.
Thanks and congratulations!
Steve

Let's see...
Black Widow longbow, 65#@32", 32" Heritage 350's w/Razorcaps 125's......

Denny talked me into the new longbow at the Michigan Traditional Gathering....Thanks Denny!

Biggie-where's the pork?  I couldnt believe you didnt bring any hogs home!  I figured you'd of traded one of them oryx for a good wartie!

Nice critters, though, congrats!

Ryan

hey Ryan! Bout time for you to come south again isn't it?

You're welcome Biggie! I like to help you spend your money. Hope to see you there again.

Denny, wasn't John with you this year in africa.I was curious how he did. Good luck huntin ,Randy

I watched one of our goup take 10 straight animals with a recurve, carbons, and WW heads with few distances to recovery long enough to even talk about.  Placement is the issue, plain and simple.

Cool! Who was it?

Biggie,
I never have seen the razorcap broadhead used.  I have shot the 2 bladed zwickeys and magnus for many years with great results.  I tried the WW this year and killed a good 4x4 whitetail with them.  Good broadhead.  Can you compare the benefits/disadvantages of the WW vs. a razorcap?
Looks like you had a great trip.
Cheers,
DK
