I hear you in spades, Rod. Along with the PH's who have to deal with hunters way over gunned, I have the same opinions with many/most of the hunters I've seen in camp. Of the hunters I have experience with, many, but not all, show a lack of experience & very poor skill in shooting the 7mm mags, .30/06's .300 mags. and .338's they brought due to recoil. I can only imagine the headaches some of the PH's have to deal with when hunters show up with .458's through .577's who have little or no experience shooting them - thinking ranges are short so no problem. They may even hit with the first shot - rarely with any afterwards. This happens with a pop-gun 7mm mag. or '06, let alone a gun that can hurt or disorient.
: I see this most often at the range with the new Ultra- mags. and young people - for many it's the first centrefire they've owned. First shot somewhere on the paper, none after that and the cheap plastic gun case melts around the barrel when they put it away.
: Of course, this is about those hunting and on Safari - with many of them, its the same deal except they havne't even put 40 rounds through the gun - kicks too much or costs too much to shoot.
: #2.00 per bullet for reloading is too much for msot people to practise, so they don't. If they practise at all, it's with something like a .223 or .22LR - yup - good enough!
