Black Death Prepping
***Black Death Prepping*** - What steps can you take when you want to go Cape buffalo hunting and only draw a 50# bow?
Step 1 - Call Rob Neilson, the President of Ashby Bowhunting Foundation and ask his advice in building an arrow system.
Step 2 - Advice given - call GrizzlyStik and build an 800 grain, 30% FOC Momentum TDT arrow tipped with an Ashby 315 broadhead.
Step 3 - Practice, practice, practice and gain the confidence to take hard angle shots.
Step 4 - Book a Texas hill country water buffalo hunt to test you equipment (and your nerves).
Step 5 - Elect to take a frontal shot and have your arrow gain full penetration. The Ashby broadhead was recoved in the bulls pelvis and he was down in under 30 seconds after imact. Over 5 feet of arrow penetration!
Step 6 - Take pictures and get ready for your African safari.
