Bowhunting Safari Equipment?
We recommend bringing 2 well-tuned hunting bows of draw weight not less than 50 lbs (or 70 lbs, if you will be hunting African Big Game). Longbow hunting, recurve-bow hunting, and compound-bow hunting is allowed, but cross-bows are not allowed. Arrows can be made out of wood, fiberglass, carbon or aluminum. The shaft must be fitted with broad heads of modern configuration with at least two cutting blades and a minimum length and width of 1 inch. Broadheads may not be barbed or has serrated edges. Mechanical broadheads are legal in Namibia. Special arrow points, such as judo point, bird points or blunt points may be used for bow hunting birds only. a range finder can be a valuable tool for assessing distance in our unfamiliar Namibia hunting environment. a good supply of arrows, strings and other spare parts should be brought along, as there is virtually no bow hunting equipment available in Namibia. The most suitable colors for camo are a combination of muted grey, brown and yellow.
