I have seen photos from the gun site academy as well as some PH training in Africa of buffalo targets that are rigged up on a pulley system to simulate a charge.

Has anyone here made one or see one well enough to know what would be needed to make one?

Pretty easy to rig up a lateral motion moving target. Telephone poll or tree, steel cable, and trolley system. Same set up for one coming at you. They work ok. You need a lot of elevation on pole, a hill helps.
The rail systems are very expensive.
The systems that are motorized that are cheaper run about $600. They will only work with cardboard.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Frosty in Fort Worth
Getting some culling done!

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
