Obviously,Buff and Ele should not be purposely shoulder shot broadside due to the chance of poor penetration to the lungs and the danger of tracking a wounded animal.Do any of you out there shoot them this way and if so with what?
What is the forum thoughtand experience on this?
As to the full on shoulder shot--that was actually recommended on Boddington's "TRACKS ACROSS AFRICA" about 2 weeks ago--he stated that one of the most effective shots he uses is to go about 1/3 of the way up the body and dead on the shoulder--drops them like a stone. With today's good bullets available I would take that shot all day long..
