No, but I'd love to see pics of their animal targets if you get a chance.

It sounds like fun. I can lend you a pair of knickers if you want! The folks at Alexander James are one of the vendors attending. Wish I could go by and say Hi to them for all their help in making the English clothes I had them make.

Have fun and good luck.

I'll be there with my .577 Gibbs and possibly the Holland .500/450; also, for the stalking course, the Evans .375 and something else. Remember , this year an extra 6 rounds [26 total] are needed for the course. I hear the extra 6 are at timed targets designed to make it harder for the single shots to dominate the stalking course as they did last year.
All the best, SXS

Retreever, Thanks for correcting me! I now have to load a few more .577s; also you are allowed sighting/ fouling shots, so plan on at least 2 extra per day.
I'm looking forward to meeting you, and swaping safari stories. I got back 2 months ago from 2 weeks in Zim. Your photos brought back memories of how great it was.
All the best, SXS [Mal MacGregor]
