Ben,

Like you, all I have are DVD's, the internet and memorys until I go back to Africa in 2014.

Get the Buzz Charleton DVD's Hunting the African Elephant and Zambezi Extreme. He has footage of some abysmal weapons handling. One bloke loses control of his double while checking his sights off a bench.

We are all gun nuts on here. I assume some of these guys who can afford the hunts pictured, seem to be older and a little on the 'comfort side'(Not unlike myself). I am only guessing, but some of them in brand new clothes and sad weapons handling maybe only one-time safaris clients.

I'm sure a PH would be able to convince them to allow him to back them up rather than lose an expensive trophy. I would not like to hunt somthing large and expensive knowing the guy next to me can't hang on to his rifle. Hardly confidence inspiring.
