Cant wait to get into the African Chapters! This is an EXCELLENT read! laugh


Is the infamous "butt-shot zebra" incident mentioned in this one as well? You may not want to be in such a hurry to get to the Africa chapters. Just sayin'. grin



The zebra wasn't shot in the butt! cry


It was shot in the hip, angling forward to demonstrate to you and others the penetrating efficiency of a 175 grain 7x57...


( It did indeed range up into the vitals and killed the zebra within 200 yards)


The sun was in my eyes, the wind was blowing, I was sick, and had never shot a gun before..



There, that about covers it! grin
