The clip is from a "In the Crosshairs" video. Great video. I believe the PH was Peter Chipman and the client Wes Hixon, a booking agent. You should really see the whole thing. It is awesome!

Thank SBT you I did not know that just came across it at my local safari club web site.

Where does one buy the video 'in the crosshairs'
That clip is the real McCoy of a lion charge....

Mike

The name of the movie is "In the Jaws of Simba" and it can be purchased at: http://www.outdoorvisions.com/searchproducts2.asp?page=8

Wow,thats pretty exciting footage.SBT,do you know where I can purchase that video?

Sorry,I was a tad slow replying.I see my question was answered before I could post the question.

Thank you SBT I will get that video or DVD if they have that.

Cheers,

Gents; I bought the video a few years back at SCI and met both Wes and Peter at the past convention. That charge was for real. If you watch it carefully, you can count the number of shots fired. 375s & 458s. Tell you what though, it's the best case for a double rifle I've ever seen! Had Peter had a double, the charge while exciting would not have ended the way it did. jorge

There are alot of dvd�s on that site you posted SBT. Do you recomend any ? Dvd�s only the American videos do not work in Europe.
I love safari movies.

I counted seven shots..... but it seems like some one else is also shooting...in the clip..


Mike

absolutely unreal..I dont care what caliber you have it would seem small..Makes me wonder about carrying my '06 in grizzly country..Thanks for the clip..The sounds,,,,, man.

my internet explorer is crippled, someone give me a blow by blow can you?

Isn't this the charge, that then PH, then filed suit on for faliure of the bullet to work right?

For such situation I would like a rifle that feeds from a belt

Holy Shit! What a video. I'm also amazed that the guy who was dragged down to the ground by the Lion didn't get shot! Or maybe he did get nicked? Does anybody know? There was a lot of lead flying within what had to be inches from him!

Dave J - no, this was not the incident where the TBBC reportedly "failed".

Erik - amazingly enough, and to the credit of the hunter and the other PH, Peter Chipman was not shot.

Interesting side-note, one of the early shots hit the lion in the lower jaw, which is why he was not able to bite down on Peter.

7 shots where fired what makes you think that one or two more from a double would have made the differants. Makeing your shots count matters much more then the gun your using.

I can't seem to find the video on that site. I'm not sure if they took it down or not. Does anyone else have the ability to post the clip?

PDog shooter: Because when the lion charged, the PH who was the object of the lion's attention, was only able to get off one shot before the lion was on him, that's why. The other shots were poorly placed, well behind the vitals. Had the PH had a double, he could have nailed the lion with a second shot right before he was on him. jorge

smallfry, sent you an email about the charge...Mike

Would have been nice to add a bayonet to the double although fitting it would be easier on a bolt gun.

Jorge,

I pegged it right that cat was hit in the mouth...But I also felt they shot at the cat to far out...The cat was not visible when they shot at him...but I was not there and you heard the growl and here he comes and shots fired..Yes a second barrel at point maybe would have changed the outcome...That cat was real sick he was not running very fast...But the video will have to be watched to judge it truthfully...Still ones hair stands up watching it..

Mike

This will take you to the movie

If you want to know true bravery, see my post on "The Real Challenge."

You know, I can stand snakes (as long as they don't surprise me), they can crawl on me, I'll hold them, etc., but I will strip if a bug gets in my clothes and I will stand on furniture and scream bloody murder over a mouse. WOMEN!!!

Maybe maybe not he could have missed also or maybe not even gotten the shot off. I like doubles but they are not the cure all for badly placed first shots. He could have brain or spined him then he might not have.
