In my talking to various PH'S they are always sizing up the client, when a Safari begins.
As shooting skills are demonstrated you will allow a hunter to take longer shots.
However for Dangerous Game (DG) the PH"S would like to work you as close as possible and then try to gain some additional yardage before taking the shot.
When a wounded DG animal is on the loose some PH will not allow the Hunter on the follow up due to there unpredictability under pressure.
For the hunters that are allow along for the followup, extra measures are taken to prevent the client from being the target of the charge.
From my reading and talking to PH"S when a charge is in progress the DG animal has picked a target to go after and seldom changes course.
Now everyone on here can say run and run faster, when you are the target it does not make any difference if you are fast or slow, you are the target of the charge.
Now we have all read where PH have been the brunt of Cape Buffalo charges and keeping the client out of harms way. Then there is the Lion and Leopard charges this year where PH's or trackers have been airlifted for emergency care. Clients are valuable commodities and are to be protected at all costs.
In my opinion most charges could be reduced if the client were to spend time knowing there rifle and shooting a rifle that they can shoot accurately and hit there target.
If you want to see DG charges and learn a thing or two, i would suggest you purchase a DVD from "Mark Sullivan". While we all do not agree with his videos you will be able to learn what not to do. It should be noted in watching his DVD'D that he always try's to make himself the person being charged and keeping the client close by and out of harms way. Also the client is provided the first shots. If you have read the above chart you will note in the DVD that the client seldom get more that one shot in as does Mark Sullivan. Second Shots are rare from Sullivan.

The Speed Shooting test I did during the PH School does not really take this schedule into consideration.
Three shots, not a hope to get them in on a cat.
The ONE shot had better be good or else...
Good information to consider before entering that bush with one of these critters.
A Good PH is worth every dollar!
