Correct but shoot the course with weapon of choice loaded to capacity everytime(as you would in a true hunting situation) instead of trying to compensate for the double rifle shooters and the outcomes will be different.
Client shoots at the buff at the point when it is essentially stopped facing away. The shot clearly hits the dirt high and to the left of the buff. Then it turns broadside to decide if it wants to dive back in the brush (and no one can shoot the easy shot ... out of ammo?) before turning and going after the PH. Can anyone pick out the PH's second shot? He seems to have an empty gun when the buff clears the brush initially?
Can you ever say "I missed that?" or "I was wrong?"
This is what most people do not understand
Brick,
with head shots on boars where I thought I was hitting the brain well...........
At 0:52 the client shoots. 0:54 the PH shoots and client has the bolt back but can't get it forward or down to shoot again and is still fumbling with it when he goes out of frame at 0:58. The next shot is at 1:01 and it looks like it was the client shooting...at least to me. This shot appears to go into the high center of the buffalo's back. Then the PH shoots one more time at 1:05 to brain the buffalo.
Norfolk Shooter, certainly agree any client MUST practice a lot (under field conditions) before going on a DG Safari. But how can a client practice “being charged” by a Buffalo? — (have his Wife scream at him and run towards him when she see his “Safari costs??”). Of course muscle memory improves thru practice and repetition but I have firearms I can load & operate in complete darkness - but doubt I could do that seeing a Buff charging me. I would think you’d need to be present for a few “charges” before you cold reliably function “similar” to normal.
That might actually work... But on second thought, don't make the rookie mistake of calling her a buffalo... Unless you really want to be practicing dangerous game hunting.
Both Hunter & PH showed real “nerve”, they held their ground and continued to attempt kill the buff, positioned themselves as needed for follow up shots — didn’t shoot each other, didn’t ”squeal like girls” (like I might of)….I’m really impressed by their actions !
One day, a neighbor on the shooting line (boar hunting), a very experienced hunter, managed to get a "double feeding" on a brand new R93. Which is almost impossible. As he explained, he did not have time to practice, but he really wanted to appear on the hunt with a new acquisition. And in an extreme situation, the skill of working with an ordinary bolt surfaced in his memory.
