Taking on a Cape Buffalo or a Lion with a Bow is not for the fainthearted. All of the Big Five offer an immense challenge to the hunter, even more so to those who practice this acient method of hunting that we inherited from our ancestors. Even though technology has improved the bow immensely since those days, a bow is still a primitive weapon wich requires much more skill to operate efficiently than a rifle. And without a doubt the ultimate challenge to any bowhunter, is to hunt the most dangerous animals on the planet. Around October is the best time for bowhunting the Big Five as it is drier and the animals would be more concentrated around the waterholes. To achieve a quick kill on any of the Big Five, an arrow that penetrates deep into the animal is vital. We recommend the following as a minimum. At least 90lbs draw weight, the more the better. A arrow weight of at least 850 grains and a arrow that travels at least 240fps The minimum requirement for the bow's kinetic energy is 110ft-lbs.
