I picked up an interesting phenomenon on the leopard charge thread. It seems that people experience charges rather different. So far, all clients that where with me during a charge, confirmed “my” way of experiencing it:
“From the client screws up shot at leopard threat, I posted: I have always found that charges looks to be in slow motion when they happen to you, but are normally over so quick that it really should be an instinctive reflex action how you deal with them- a fight or flight decision in less than 0.5 seconds.”
I am not sure if the clients just agreed that is how they have experienced it, or if they experienced it more like Shakari:

Interesting what you say about the charge. For some strange reason, I can never remember the charge itself. I always remember spotting the animal and identifing the charge and I always remember the moments after the shot and the animal is down.......... but the bit in between, including the shot itself, is always a complete blank........ Christ knows why, but that's the way it is with me.
Who has experienced a charge, and what was your experience? What distance and animal?
