True, the side brain shot looked a little low and also too far forward. Later both the client and the PH missed the brain from a frontal position also shooting too low.

But goes to show, after an unsuccessful brain shot, if the ele doesn't drop immediately, many recommend going for a heart/lungs/chest shot as an insurance shot. Easier to make, less dramatic, and the ele will probably run a fair distance. But will succumb. Unlike a missed brain shot, the ele may then run and never be found again.
