I'm not sure you know how I handled it, Mike, but.... okay!!

I actually was really critical of my rifle-handling on this hunt, and definitely see some room for improvement. My PH said he was very pleased with my shooting/riflework, but he sees a lot of people who have made serious mistakes in their riflery preparations, and that colors his perspective some.

I'm putting together an article on the journey I undertook in selecting my African rifle, and my training with it to get ready for this hunt, which I might share on the big bore/express rifle forum at a later date.
