I enjoy the posts from the armchair bwanas who profess how to shoot and behave during such an event. Speak to experienced PH's and they will tell you that each one of these fiascos is different. The only advice I got from my PH prior to my lion hunt was to practice a minimum of twice weekly, from all types of positions. In preparation for a lion charge, I was told to get to ground level, and wait for ONE good shot. Two would be an impossibility. As I am well over six feet, shooting over a lion is all too easy during a charge, since they seem to shrink when at full speed.

I practiced dropping and shooting at 10, 15, and 25 yards. Thankfully, I did not have to when the shooting started for real. This is a very tough drill. At first the shooting was not accurate,but it did improve. Afterwards, your lower body (knees and bum) were tender for a few days. They just never seemed to toughen up.
