Cape Buffalo, Brown Bear, Elephant, Hippo.

In all these posted videos, I don't understand why the clients are always using shooting sticks? Sure for a hundred yards two hundred yards shot. But why at 10,20,30, even 50 yards?

I've never used shooting sticks on Cape Buffalo, Water Buffalo, Banteng and Scrub bulls. It's got a sizable target area if heart or above heart shooting. A shoulder shot will also drop the beast allowing a good second killing shot. A lung shot alone might be risky,the animal running away and possibly going a long long way especially if using solids.

Nor elephant. My elephant were frontal brain shot. A small "bread loaf" or American football sized target. But shot at very close range.

Putting up those sticks for such animals just adds to the activity, movement and nuisance, Better for plains game shooting.

With that called in bear, how did they know if the sticks were in the right place?
