To the PHs... how good do I need to be?
06/02/04 08:21 AM

talking to my dad the other day, and we were kicking around the whole "acceptable accuracy" thing, as he's skeptical of taking me to africa without either of us having harvested all that many rifle-kills in our lives. (he's got 4-5, I have 2... I have a few hundred shot-gun kills, he must have 20,000 or more).

so the question becomes... what do you deem acceptable, and at what ranges are you looking for performance?

lets NOT talk DG hunts, as that will be a second or even third trip... lets talk plains game in RSA and Namibia.

(btw, we both shoot Mausers, him a 30-06, me a 35 Whelen)... and yes, I know that at age 25 I should be paying my own way... but hey, if he offers???
