Cow ele charge on bow hunter and PH

A charge on a bowhunting client and a PH where the PH needs to stop the elephant.

Why aren't PHs whom are guiding bow hunter clients on dangerous game also armed with a bow as back up ???

I reviewed the video and it never says the client was hunting elephant. Maybe I missed something but it appears that group was out stalking and the herd was walking in their direction.

So why should a rifle hunter expect a back up with another rifle? It is rather confounding to me that hunters will diminish another because they choose to hunt with something different. I pretty much utilize all types of hunting gear and enjoy the ability to have a choice. My modern bow is as effective on game as a rifle if used at the appropriate distance. My one shot muzzleloader has killed numerous deer. I have been successful with primitive snares to reduce predators.

Dangerous game is just that, dangerous, no one goes with out back up, period. There are numerous rifle hunters who make very poor shots on DBG and their PH's have to finish it for them. There are plenty of deaths every year by hunters/PH's carrying firearms on a DBG hunt. Does anyone know how many bow hunters have been killed on safari?
