Hi All,
I just finished and started shooting my first selfbow a few weeks ago, it is a boardbow over 75# at my draw.
I now want to make n osage selfbow in the 75 to 80# range.
Is anyone here hunting Africa or Oz with a selfbow?
regards,
F-Manny
F-Manny,
Good Afternoon! I believe that Paul Brunner aka Too Short has taken game in Africa with one of his selfbows. God Bless, T
Hi T,
Thank you for the info, I hope that Too Short will kick in with his Dark Continent stories!

F-Manny,
I have used self bows but only on game up to the size of pigs.
A good mate of mine, Col Graham - the maker of Ribteks - uses a self bow at times. Last year on our buff hunt he used a 92# Osage longbow that he made. If you go to his web site there is a photo or two.

F-Manny,
I talked with Gary Davis maker of Rattlestick selfbows the other day and he will be hunting plains game in Africa next month.
Thanks Jack!
Pope and Young hunted africa with selfbows :bigsmyl:
Africa and Oz, no, but I have hunted Alaskan brown bears with a selfbow but a wee 66#. Very close calls but I haven't shot one yet. I did shoot one really nice blackie with it thou.
Thanks Manny and Steve.
Steve did youmake your selfbow? I know Manny makes his ;)
