Hello Fellow Members,
I am new to the Forum but have been a reader for some time. I have never hunted Africa but have several Friends that do and the big bore guns really interest me. I am intrigued by the History of hunting in Africa. I build some rifles and barrels, mostly for long distance shooting out to 1 mile. At 70 years I will likely never make it to Africa but learning from those that do is enjoyable.
 
Welcome aboard from a fellow Tarheel!

Hello fellow tarheel. Seems there are quite a few here.
Never say never about making it to Africa. Never been myself, but 65 years old here and looking at some plains game hunts I can afford, and hope to do in a year or so. Would be nice to breathe that air and walk that ground.
 
:S Welcome:

Last time I went to Africa I was 72 :D Cheers:
 
:S Welcome:
 
Welcome to you! Glad you have arrived!
 
Giday Joel and welcome to the A H forums where many of us hunt africa through the eye of other forum members.
 
Greetings and welcome sir! You should jump on going and not to worry, your outfitter can and will put together a hunt tailored for you. I took my father at 68 and will again this July at 73. We don't take anything but memories when we move on my friend........!
 
Hello joelpend,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I too am 70 years of age.
If I have anything to say about it, I will hunt and fish in Africa more times yet to come.
Like other members here have already said, one is never too old to experience Africa.

When you get around to it, have a look into the Khomas Safaris web site.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome to AH joelpend! Hope you make it to Africa.
 
Good day, Sir! Welcome from us too!
 
Welcome to AH!

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
