Guys, although the first video looks like I am "threading the needle" the shooting window is easily 3 feet wide! If one is going to miss the intended mark at 80 yards with a scoped rifle / off sticks, what does it matter if the buffalo is in the wide open, or not? Shooting for the "camera" had nothing to do with it, knowing it was a good shot to take was the entire decision! I took it, and he was down quickly.
The 2nd video / bull was a bit further ahead of the buffalo behind him than it appears on the film. My long-time caneraman was off to my right just a couple of feet, enough to change the appearance at that distance. Regardless, I've shot lots of buffalo - I've never seen a "soft" that hit a bull in the shoulder, and then exited the opposite side, but that's just my experience.
I see a lot of guys on the African forums constantly referring to shooting when their "PH" says to. As long as you understand the anatomy of the animal you are shooting, then shoot when you decide its a good/clean shot. You as the shooter can see better than anyone what your cross hairs are pointing at. You as the shooter can see just as clearly as the PH if the buffalo is at a bad angle, something is obscuring the vitals, etc. As long as you have identified the "correct" animal to shoot, then be confident in your ability. Best way to get that confidence, kill lots of stuff!
