Are there targets available with the vitals indicated on various animals? While I realize they couldn't be full body life size, maybe one showing a life size vital part of the body -- where do you shoot a hippo? The locals just said to use a 300 win mag and shoot them in the head when they surface -- if this is BS, I apologize, I really am not familiar at all w. african game. What do you do if you encounter them on land?

We get a series of photorealistic ones here (lion, buff etc.) and some of the fellows running walking with DG courses have some very nice ones of charging animals but them being here and you being there probably doesn't help you much.....

Why not jusy buy yourself a copy of "The Perfect Shot" by Kevin Robertson which will show you all the kill zones on the important species. It's a fabulous book and well worth the purchase price.

As to headshooting a Hippo when it's in the water...... it works a treat. The book will also show you all the kill zones for when the animal is on land.

The printed targets are good fun but not much else. A paper target is only 2 dimensional whereas the book explains shot placement in 3 dimensions...... if that makes sense!
