Default Cape Buffalo 3 weeks away

I head over to Africa the 1st of August. One week of work, 4 Days at Badger Bush plains game hunting and then to Dries Vissers for a try at Cape Buffalo. My setup is going to be a 83# @ 28 PSA V with a combo arrow. I took a 29" Heritage 350 shaft and put a 22" Beman 50/60 shaft inside of it using a 8 grain per inch weight tube to fill the rest of the shaft. 125 grain brass insert with 200 grain GK heads. Weighs 908 grains. I don't have a chronograph but it casts about the same as my 74# with a 700 grain arrow. My only problem right now is the 100 plus degree afternoons. I can shoot about a dozen arrows then I'm so sweated down I can't hang on to the bow. I have to go in and cool down before return to try another dozen. I guess it is good it is so hot. I would most likely hurt myself shooting too much if not for the heat. I'm pumped
