I hae no problems with you having confidence in your ability
or backing yourself. It's just you came up with a big statement
about Charges and then Doubles without any experience of either.
How can you say you can shoot 2 well aimed shots out of a double
at a charging Leopard with no experience of either ?

Re I THINK IF YOU KNEW A LITTLE MORE YOURSELF
YOU WOULDNT BE QUOTING A NAME LIKE OLD BOD`S MATE,
I only quoted Boddington as it had been mentioned by the other poster
and I had also read the save article. FYI, I have also read all the other
authors. And what's wrong with Bod anyway, at least he's been there
and done it on a number of occasions and writes about the current situation.

Re I DONT KNOW WHERE THIS COMES INTO IT AS I DONT TARGET SHOOT AT ALL "
It was in ref to your initial last paragraph about other people "being able to cut the mustard".

If you don't shoot targets at all, how do you sight your rifle in ?
And IMHO, practice before you go in the field in good and that is where you
see people shoot well and then you see them in the field and they don't shoot well.

And I practised the situation of what to do if and when I ended up facing a charge
so that it would be instictive and when it did eventually happen my reaction was
instinctive. And IMHO, experience does count for a lot.
