Have you seen it? It's not your typical advertisement.

Is anything on AR typical? Yes, I commented on the ad earlier here another post a couple of weeks back. It definitely sets the record straight as to what you can experience on AR!

I liked the one that had the picture of the baboon named Ganyana from a couple issues ago.

This advert shows two dung beetle rolling along with a piece of elephant dung.

The caption says:

Something For Everyone...
...even Bullshit Artists!

I think that really summs it up very accurately of what goes on here.

Do you think the publishers would mind someone posting a scan of that ad? I'd love to see it.

If one dung beetle twists his ball of dung faster than another, will it roll further?

If both balls are the same diameter and weight (therefore they have the same Sectional Density) the one that is twisted faster will roll further. In asking the question, it proves you have not been paying attention.

Let us see how long it takes for someone to point out that all balls, made from the same material will have the same Sd, regardless of their diameters.

This actually reminds me of the old Shooter forum.

There was a man who went hunting plains game in South Africa, then came back and started telling all and sundery HOW Africa should be hunted.

He had become an instart expert!

We seem to have a few of his kind here, and they tend to get rather shirty when some disagrees with them.

There is really no hard and fast rules to hunt Africa.

One should hunt it the way HE enjoys it. And pay scant attention to the "experts"

It's not only the newbies and Africa one-timers (like myself), it's also the vets around here who hold themselves up to be the final word on how things should be done.

It's no different anywhere else. That's life.

Not only hunting, but any endevor. A prime example of this behavior can be found in the Double Rifles

JBoutfishn, I went back and read that whole thread, and mostly it is simply a tread about a guy with a new rifle haveing some fun working up some very good loads for it,and asking some real questions. Confused

The only other thing I saw was, a couple of guys that simply can't get along, with one being as opinionated as the other, something that most of us are guilty of at times. Roll Eyes

Both are really good guys, they just have a presonality conflict, that will not allow them to stay on the same string,long, without confornting each other! No big deal!

You are correct Mac, I was weary of the lack of civility and horse While I may be guilty of hijack here, the picture in African Hunter Mag was the greatest thumb

Gerrard,

Clearly it is you who have not been swayed by the laws of fisics. Everyone knows that it is the ball with the secional density advantage that will roll faster and straighter, Roll Eyes Big Grin

Off course both are of the correct historic round nose configuration. stir

JPK,
This is the problem with balls. In order for it to have a nose, it must have a front. How do you tell which side of a ball is front?

Gerard,

Surely you understand? It doesn't matter! NO barrel twist issues! 'Cause tumbling isn't a problem! killpc Cool

Alf's posts, detailing penetration, permanent and temporary wound channels et al, with steel round balls at 47,000,000fps must have convinced you. No? hammering horse Wink

To the round ball - next generation elephant killer! beer cheers

No worries. I used to play rugby when I was younger and fitter. First the violence, then the drinking - just like the little yellow fellows in my post.

I had been wanting to scan that ad and post it here.

Thanks, Saeed.

The dungbeetle or "scarab" was sacred in Ancient Egypt. The rolling of the dung ball by a scarab symbolised the rolling of the sun across the heavens and was associated with Ra, the sun god. The begining, noon and ending of the day.

So one could argue, pushing bullshit, camelshit or elephant shit is an ancient and holy tradition in Africa. Big Grin

-------------------------

Not only those traditions, Nitrox but in the oilfield, too. Try setting up a new operation in Mozambique, for instance, and dealing with the customer, SASOL.

Questions you get often sound like - "how you gonna move and spot all this schitt, guy",? Drill rigs and equipment are heavy but a turd is a turd, roll with it. Thus the moniker - "Dungbeetle". Later given as an honorary status after the job was done. Good gas field, too. BP has it now, I think. Don't know if development was ever completed there, lots of questions on the pipeline, land or sub-sea.

Jeez, gang, give a turd hustler a break, eh? It's honorable. No disclaimer on the bullschitt thing.

Dungbeetle,

Very funny. Isn't a dungball in the sea known as a "blind mullet" fish. Blind fish that doesn't swim, but floats on the surface and floats with the current.

You are right, sadly we have a few members living in kuckoo land, enjoying an ego trip.
