Tim Herold Buffalo Shot

How about posting a link to the video you are referring to, I can't find it??

I just watched a video of him hunting Buffalo in Uganda with a partner. 6 bulls in 7 days, shooting was flawless with a custom 416 Remington.

Back to safety, I carry my own rifle either on the sling with the muzzle up or in the crook of my left arm with the muzzle pointed up. Muzzle control is paramount no matter the circumstances. And if you can't control the muzzle, you have to disable the rifle. One day, I shot an impala and he went down at the shot, but he was quickly up and running. We ran after him through the waist high grass. I ran into a large branch down in the grass that hit me mid shin and I went end over end. Landing knocked the wind out of me, but as soon as I recovered, I noticed that I'd opened my bolt on the way down. That's instinct and training, not conscious thought.

Sure.

I practice falling with my rifles while running all the time. Lol.

Folks,

I know Tim, have hunted with him and considered him a friend long before he got totally in the lime light. A raking shot can be very effective but your aim only needs to be off a very few inches and you miss or in this case you wound. Tim in the last 15-20 years has shot a lot of animals including buffalo. I think he must have been very sure he could make the shot before he fired. We've all made misjudgements in the field so I see no need to pile on Tim.

Agree. We all fuck up now and again
