@skydiver386 and I ordered some life sized targets from Rigby’s of London for our Big Bore Shoot at @gizmo Rockin G Ranch in February 2027.

The situation is this unwounded buffalo charging from 40 yards. Do you take the shot then at 40 yards? Which color do you shoot? OR Do you wait till he gets closer and dips his head, then try for a brain shoot then?

Hello, I’m hoping some knowledge folks on here will be able to tell me what’s going on. I’ve made two posts now about my newly acquired Merkel double rifle. I just took it to the range today for the first time, after JJ installed a red dot on it and addressed a small hairline crack in the stock, and used some factory Barnes ammunition I just purchased.

All rounds were breaking clean. My first shot was the lowest on the target and each subsequent shot (scope adjustment after each shot) just walked right on in. Very...

I never thought that I would ever think this way, but my Safari days might me coming to a close. It's getting to the point where I can't afford it anymore.

Airfare has almost doubled in the last 5? years. The prices that outfitters are charging, outside of RSA and Namibia have skyrocketed.
