Double D has got it absolutely right. - I'm not referring to bullet drop at all, I'm referring to bullet placement and how so many hunters wound animals on up/down hill shots because they only see the animal as a one dimensional target, get the initial shot placement wrong and then miss the engine room. This happens most with large/wide bodied animals such as Buff as the wider the target the more the error is magnified. Add on the fact that Buff are so tough when they have a non fatal wound and you'll see how important it is to get the first shot right.

The article Johan provided was probably written by someone with a lot of target shooting experience but may perhaps have been light on hunting experience. - He doesn't even mention the point I'm trying to make. - Admittedly the article was written with regard to sheep hunting.... and sheep are a hell of a lot smaller than a Buffalo, so the error will not be so large. - So in his defense, maybe it's not as important when hunting sheep........ I've never even seen any of the sheep you huys hunt, so can't really comment on that.....
