Light Gear for the Dark Continent

Prepping for that African safari? Here's a look at the gear you'll need.

Hardware: Leupold VX-3i 3.5X-10X-40mm

Riflescopes with parallax adjustments, illuminated reticles, 8X zoom ranges and turrets dialing past 1,500 yards are impressive, but do we really need that to still-hunt whitetails in Ohio farmland or chase elk at 8,000 feet in Idaho?

This 12.6-ounce scope, a reengineered upgrade from the previous VX-3, is bright, sharp, slim and extremely reliable.

The Browning label—and its associated BuckMark logo—has long stood for dependability and reliability, and those traits have extended into the new line of Browning ammunition.

Bowhunting: Know Your Arrow’s Flight Path

Every hunter who’s ever loosed an arrow knows it falls fast. Therefore when shooting at longer ranges, we must compensate for an arrow’s rainbow-like trajectory—called parabolic arc—by aiming higher. Lucky for us, sight pins make it simple.
