Tom2008 Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari Congrats on all the animals Ty! You are a very lucky kid. Stick around cause you will fit right in! Have you entered any of these animals into the SCI records? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WEAVER Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari I did not enter them in SCI but I entered them in Trophy Game Records of The World. I will know the official results in July. But unofficialy 4 of these critters score as new world records. The Blesbok is a new unofficial world record by a mile. I am very lucky. Currently I have three World Record certificates. I shot this Steenbok on my last safari. Take care, Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bbarnett51 Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari Hey Ty, Good to see you over here. This forum is a little more tame then some of the others. I don't think you will have to deal with many naysayers!!! What are you chasing next? I will be after the turkeys here pretty soon..take care buddy.

Guest WEAVER Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari I'll be hunting varmints and hogs thru summer. We lost our turkey lease. I stuck some varmints in Africa too. And sorry about all the different camo. I guess Mom and Dad buy what fits me or something. Take care, Ty I will also go to Pennsylvania to visit my Pappy and shoot some groundhogs. Check out this camo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WEAVER Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari I use to shoot a Martin Tiger set at 40 pounds. I used Magnus 100 grain two blade broadheads. I shot this buff with that set up with Gold Tip Arrows painted white. Now I shoot a Mathews Mustang with a Whisker Biscuit rest and ICS arrows with Magnus Stinger two blade broadheads. We take the 85grain 4 blade and remove the bleeder and add 15 grains of weight behind the head. The reason we use the 85 grain and add weight versus just using the 100 grain is because the 85 grain is a little narrower for better penetration on big stuff.

Guest WEAVER Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari Tis is a Asia Waterbuff. It is not a big one. Here in Texas a lot of people have exotic animals. This one was taring stuff up and braking fences and stuff. So Mr. Paul called me to come shoot it with my bow. Dad and I butchered it for him. It is great eating. I shot it with a 85 grain Magnus Stinger Buzz Cut We made it a two blade and added 15 grains of weight. I got penetration up to the fletch.

magnatecsteve Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari You are THE MAN Ty!! No serious, you should have sponsors if you don't already. You are very lucky to have so many opportumities, your Dad must be proud of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WEAVER Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari Thank you all for the nice words. I don't have any sponsors. I tried getting a bow from several companies but it never would happen. When I out grew my Martin Tiger we went to the bow shop and bought this used Mathews. I am really fortunate that my parents take me hunting so much. Take care, Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Loves_To_Hunt458 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari I'm amazed, too! Your an excellent hunter and I hope I can have the same oppertuities that you have had. I hope I can shoot as well as you, too. Great job on all of yo rhunts and I wish you good luck when you go back to Africa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WEAVER Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: My Africa Safari Thank you, I am very fortunate. My Dad lets me do most of the shooting and he runs the video camera. Dad says he likes to watch me more than hunting himself. Dad only shot one animal in the last four or five years. I was with him when he shot it. It was in Africa and he shot a huge Blue Wildebeest.
