We wil be heading to Africa in 12 days. We will be hunting with African Arrow Safaris in the Limppopo district. My wife and I will be shooting our DXT's, Bucknasty strings, Hellrazors, Rage 2 blade, and Victory VForce 1 arrows. We wil be hunting: Common Blesbuck, Gemsbuck, Impala, Kudu, Blue Wildebeest, and Warthog. Excited about the hunt, but not the extra long flight. I will keep you posted as time closes. Hopfully plenty of pics of the hunt.

I wouldn't be fit for anything if I were that close to an African hunt. Good luck.

We are really pumped about the trip. Talked to the PH,Harry Nel today he said the weather was good. Their hunting will start this next wk. There is a lot to learn about traveling international. Customs can be a pain in the --- if you don't know what your doing. I am just learning as fast as I can.
The flight from DFW to Atlanta is about 2 hrs. not bad, but the flight from Atlanta to Johannasburg is just over 16. We are getting all of our stuff organized, and cut down as much as possible.
Get back later.

I would love to tell you the flight is no big deal, but I would be lying  Go to your doctor and get some sleeping pills. They are good for the flight, and the jet lag when you arrive. Good Luck on the hunt, you are gonna love it!

2 Days left. We will be departing at 10:45 Monday morning. Very excited, and can't wait to get this trip underway. We have only had this trip booked for about 2 months. Don't think I could stand it if I had booked this trip a couple of years in advance. Not taking very many cloths as the ph said they do laundry every day. Taking candy for the kids, and caps and T- shirts for the trackers and skinners. My wife and I will be shooting 100 gr. Hellrazors, and 2 blade Rage. I will be shooting the new Victory VF1 arrows and my wife will be shooting the Gold Tip XT Hunters.
