I was scrolling through my pics and clips from my November 06 hunt in Save with Shangaan's Gordon Duncan, looking at this clip I took with my photo camera. After dissecting the clip in seconds frame it turned out something like this (distance is estimated roughly and frames are taken inside 1 second margin)... -3 seconds...get set  -2 seconds...ready  -1 second...steady  0 second...go - 50 meters  +1 second...speeding up - 40 meters  +2 seconds...speeding some more - 25 meters  +3 seconds...full speed - 15 meters  +4 seconds...reaching point of no return - 8 meters - Gordon fires .44 mag to the ground in front of the lady - no effect  +5 seconds...closing the gap - 4 meters - how about getting out of here - pedal to the medal...  +6 seconds...if truck wouldn't work - squash time  | ||

If all I had was a 44 mag and no truck in that situation I would just shoot myself. "Science only goes so far then God takes over." | |||

NP guys, pleasure was all mine Actually I am still celebrating a good idea by Brits to put a driver on the right side of the vehicle and was about to put a seatbelt on, just to deal with a fresh set of nappies later  Joke aside – I think I will never be able to look at elephants in any other way since – they are so inevitable - one indeed feels so puny, with nothing but a tiny bullet against them. | |||
