AFRICA HUNTER QUEST© 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 

Without the help of the following intrepid souls, there would have been no spontaneous combustion to generate this book: 

John Taylor, the original Africa terminal performance and ballistics wonk, whose book format inspired mine. 

Diane, my wife and sweetie, for patiently editing the draft to enable my spew to be presented in accepted literary form. 

Jeanette, for fearlessly accepting to type the dictated manuscript. She knew what she was getting into, but said “Yes” anyway. 

Koos DeMyer, a consummate PH, who freely shared his expertise and constantly sustained the magic of hunting in Africa. 

David Tooley, a gunsmith extraordinaire, who got tired of my blather and essentially said “Quit speculating and go test bullets.” 

Glenn Motes, the principal aider and abettor, who graciously allowed me to do mad science gel testing on his property and whose body language indicated I needed to explain the results way better. 

Ira Wikel, a good friend, who artfully reminded me that some things are important enough to risk being put on the Group W bench. 

Jim Hardy, a once-in-a-lifetime friend and shooting buddy, who reinforced the notion that it’s always about the bullet’s construction and showed me how to fight the good fight. Semper Fi.
