NitroX,

On my one and only elephant so far, I was shooting for the brain from the front, but the elephant dipped it's head down just as I fired (which we could confirm from the angle of the bullet enterance when we later checked). So either the bullet missed the brain, or perhaps nicked a bit of it as it went too high. The elephant fell to the side but was not 100% dead, so I fired 1 shot into the heart/lung area to make sure it wouldn't go far if it suddenly popped up, and then a side brain shot which turned it's lights out as if with a switch. These last 2 shots were done as fast as I could cycle the bolt.

My PH let me sort out things myself, which I am glad for and was as I wished. But we had discussed that if he felt it was vital for him to step in, that he could do so. After all, he's the pro. As it was though, he was kind of busy keeping track of other nearby, and potentially problematic, elephant.
