    Any reason not to use a 350 grain .375 bullet for buffalo

    I love the [emoji639][emoji6[emoji640][emoji637]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] grain Woodleigh RNSN HDs for buffalo, super emphatic, dozens of good bulls with this bullet. But if I were to switch to a TSX I would use the...

    May I ask, out of curiosity, what would the average whitetail setup be in terms of draw weight and arrow weight? I don’t know much about deer hunting but I’m interested in learning.

    The ability for both blades in the Beast to simultaneously and independently fold back in to avoid obstacles and then immediately redeploy got me intrigued enough to give them a chance.

    I agree, I was opposed to mechanicals until Beast broadheads got invented, but a mate has experienced great success with Sevr. Last year I got four huge old water buffalo bulls with Beasts, super quick and clean, no damage to the blades or ferrule.

    Amen to that! A [emoji639]:[emoji637] ratio (or close) on a two-blade is the go for short draws, trad or low poundage. There’s a fantastic podcast with John Dudley interviewing trauma surgeon Dr Peter Attia (spelling from memory) on the Nock-On podcast where some interesting things come up...

    Don’t follow us Aussie bowhunters too closely, we’ll warrant cancellation! Dr Ashby is a legend, I love his work, but time and technology do change and new things get discovered. None of us know everything. When I killed my first buffalo bull with a longbow I used a 1200 grain arrow. For my...

    22-250 and 243 for "small" plains game

    With a 55 grain Barnes TSX the .22-250 is an over-achiever (boars, buffalo, wild cattle in Australia). I think it would be wonderful for impala, baboons, warthogs and even old kudu bulls, but only in situation where I could take my time, get nicely setup and pick my shot unhurried.

    That’s awesome! You’ll be addicted! There’ll be highs and lows on a never ending journey of learning. Keep us posted! I hear Magnum Archery is a pretty awesome pro shop in South Africa.

    Bowmar BEAST Broadhead Test

    I’m using one-hundred-and-twenty-five grains in the two inch variant.

    Bowmar BEAST Broadhead Test

    Putting these to good use on Australian buffalo, they’re absolutely amazing! The ability for both blades to independently fold back and reopen almost instantaneously combined with the extra cutting diameter is devastating even on big bulls.

    I read it a few times and it seems that grain weight and spine may have been inadvertently mixed. Hopefully OP can clarify. My response erred on the presumption (never presume - my apologies) that he meant spine.

    Another recommendation for Beast mechanicals, too. I was always opposed to the idea of mechanicals until these things were invented. Four big Australian buffalo with them so far.

    For some reason my post went crazy! 400s are likely too weak and 300s might be more suitable.

    Yes, I also think .[emoji640][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]]” spine is likely too weak unless you have an extremely short draw. A more common spine would be...
