Personally I find most of the dots on the photos are a little too high and the broadside one too far back.

A problem with photos is the lack of perspective. How far away is the elephant? his affects the angle of the shot and how far down or up to shoot. More easier to tell the distance on film or real life.

What I also did was learn the broomstick method of judging where the brain was, and whenever I saw an elephant, at the zoo, on a calendar, on a TV documentary, to practice trying to estimate where the brain was, and where to place the bullet.

Worked well enough to be lucky enough to drop two cows with single frontal brain shots. (plus insurance shots)

These two products helped me a lot for my two elephants.

NitroExpress.com has some of these in stock

Out of stock.
