On are last safari in (July 2016)
My Nine year old Granddaughter went 5 shots, four animals in July of this year, all between 125 and 225 yrds. Sable, (39 inch) Kudu, (48 inch) (missed the first shot at the springbok), Gold Springbok Ram, and Silver Impala Ram with a borrowed Sako 308
This was her first safari as a shooter. Wife Roan, and Nyala 1 shot each, (11th African safari as a shooter 4 of the big 5), My youngest daughter Gemsbok, Duiker ( Her 10th safari 2 of the big 5) and yes most of the trips have been for Dangerous game, Also the old man Checked a few off of his list.

Thanks again Jakkie, John, Jr, and Hermon and a special thanks to my Nine year olds assistant guide who was also Nine. Will, (Willie) This is the place for Family's to hunt......
