Our bow hunting season primarily occurs in August, September, and October. During this time, we offer our bow hunters an almost 100% success rate on their hunts, as it is the driest part of the season. All our bow hunts are conducted from fixed blinds overlooking waterholes.
Bow Hunting Compound Sets
We welcome compound bows, crossbows, recurve bows, and longbows.
Shooting Distance: Bow hunters can expect to shoot as close as 7 yards, with a maximum distance of 30 yards, towards their ultimate trophy.
Minimum Pounds on a compound bow:
It’s important for all foreign clients to know that the vital areas of our animals are located between the shoulder blades, not behind them. To ensure effective penetration, we recommend using a bow that can penetrate the shoulder blade. We suggest a minimum draw weight of 62 pounds, with an arrow weight of no less than 400g in total.
Broadheads:
The choice of broadheads varies from hunter to hunter. As professional hunters, we recommend using a fixed broadhead, such as a Montec G5 or a similar option. Please consult your outfitter for further advice. The reason for this recommendation is that mechanical broadheads can break upon impact with bone, and we have had several hunters return home without their ultimate trophy due to using mechanicals.
For hunting dangerous game with a bow, please contact Ryno Smit, your outfitter, for more information on draw weight, arrow weight, and broadhead recommendations.
