In getting ready for dangerous game hunting, practise fast shouldering,shooting, reloading and shooting again at close range. This is a good idea - never wasted ammo. The biggest problem I've seen with big game hunters is they don't practise enough at home - if at all. Only a few are familiar with their rifles. Only the very rare one is fast at shouldering his rifle - it all comes down to familiarity. Can't find it in the scope is the most common thing I've heard. If you can see it with your eyes, it MUST be in the scope. Practise is the only thing that helps here. Shooting single shot off a bench at 100 yard paper target is not practise.
That is the same thing I hear from PH's when I am in Africa as well...don't really understand how someone can spend that much time and money and not practice for it..but, hey, each to their own..
