Guys thats the funniest thing I've seen on here in a while I could just picture DT holding a camera bobbin around like crazy while he runs like mad and squeals like a little girl in a horror house.While someone else runs ahead of him yelling faster faster you fool you fool.

Would that person be from Georgia by any chance and squealing even louder????  ;D

You guys are a bunch of little girls.  ::) Cape buffalo have a sweet spot that when shot broadside will allow the arrow to pass clear through punching both lungs and possibly the top of the heart.  Of course you want a large point since a buffalo can live for a day if you shoot it through both lungs with a small diameter broadhead.  :o Justin

okay, if you think it can be done, what would your setup be? selfbow? bow with a backing of some sort? what type of stone? what head design? etc, etc.  this has really got me intigued. i'm definatly going to look into it seriously.

95# or more. I would use a selfbow just so people are sure it wasn't some FG abomination.  >:D I am trying to find another piece of Ipe that is suitable for the job. Salt Cedar shoots make a super heavy shaft, I have some that are 900 grains. I also might make tapered shafts from Jatoba or Ipe to increase the weight. For the points I would probably go 1 1/4" wide with a steep angle. Guys who have shot them with compounds have had better luck with steeper angle broadheads. I would make the points from the stone I got from Cowboy since it is harder than steel anyway.  ;) I have been looking into this for some time and I am going to do it.  It is just a matter of finding the time and the money at the same time.  ;D Justin

At the risk of sounding like a know-it-all.....I've got two words.....atlatl dart >:D

Google mammoth hunting. Lot's of good theories there.

I wouldn't try this on my own, in any case.  Might even try driving the buffalo into water or (over a cliff) to slow it down. ;D

Me too Steve! You ever read his last book he wrote? What a wild man!

I especially like the one where he is big game hunting in his suburban home near the trash dump! A little hamburger meat, an air rifle with scope and voila! Instant urban big game hunting!!! ;D

I still want to shoot a T Rex, but since they're not around anymore, I guess that would work ;D.

My 76# bow and light, 600 grain arrows hits really hard as is, even at 50 yards (after a while, I've punched a whole through our 2x4 back stop with .38 special blunt arrows). For elephant, buffulo, and other big beasties, something 85-100# with 850-1000 grain arrows would work. Mainly for elephant, as I'm convinced my 76# bow would kill a buffulo and anything else around htat size. As for points, I'd have to use whatever I can get from some other knappers. I only know how to make trade points, and that's not really stone, is it :P?

  How the he^^ I get picked for this? Okay, I'll do it ;D. Let's take up a collection for the plane ticket and permits, I have the passport and I'll pay for the VISA. :) Did you ever hear the one about the Grizzly Guide that carried a 22 pistol for a back-up gun?,  all he had to do was shoot the hunter in the foot and run like hell. >:D
