Guns for Africa?

[tim416]

Greyghost is giving good advice regarding shot placement.
Most african game animals have vitals that are typically further forward and in some cases higher than most North American game.
This sometimes causes problems for North American deer hunters who typically shoot just behind the shoulder. Most African species are better taken with a shot on the shoulder as opposed to behind. You need to remember in Africa if you draw blood on game you pay for it whether recovered or not. It pays to do your homework and know the kill zones on the species you are hunting. Your PH is there to help you along as well.
