It's a stunt, bragging rights.
Almost always, they have someone with a gun backing them.
I always thought if you want to brag about bow killing dangerous game,
no rifles.
I hope your friend has a quick revovery.
Seems like every rifle hunter has a backup gunner as well, I know I have while shooting a .458Lott in Tanzania on more than 1 buff. The stunt would be for the ph to carry a bow too.
