Mickey,

I prefer to be able to handle most problems myself, to the best of my abilities, rather then depend on the abilities of others. Not only in hunting, but in most situations. I have gotten the impression that many PHs simply don't have the oppertunity to practice much with their rifles, so I wouldn't bet on all of them being able to save a clients a$$. Not that there aren't exceptions amongst PHs of course, as some are obviously very good with their guns.
