I had to shoot fast for this AFRICAN 'BULL'S-EYE!' "A 40-mile-an-hour blur is no easy mark at 50 paces, not even with a rifle. With bow and arrow, it takes fancy shooting indeed," writes FRED BEAR, an American friend of Canadian Club. "In the parklike savanna country near Fort Archamboult, in French Equatorial Africa. I matched my 60-pound recurve bow against a galloping hartebeest. Chased by Ubangi tribesmen, my target was flying across the veldt when I released my arrow. That arrow had a razor blade on each side of its regular broadhead tip. My first shot missed, or so I thought, but as I fitted a second arrow, the hartebeest dropped in its tracks." "A clean kill M'sieu!" Yves Guerin, my white hunter, was impressed. So was I. The hartebeest would make quite a trophy. The animal wighed nearly half a ton. Its lyre-shaped horns measured over 4 feet. Its meat made good eating." ..... 1956 Canadian Club Whisky Ad, A5056A.
