As far as I am concerned Ross's ability with, and knowledge of, firearms is not in question. However, as much as Ross likes to tout his ability in all fields, I have never seen any evidence offered for his self proclaimed "ten years" of professionally guiding in Africa.
As Ken pointed out, I just heard a report on the news that there are now over nine million persons claiming to be Vietnam vetrans yet the US military only has record of three million.
Wheather Ross actually guided in Africa for as long as he claims does not diminish his ability as a writer or his knowledge of firearms. As a guide I simply am curious. It wouldn't matter if I were a farmer or brain surgeon, if someone claimed to be in the same occupation I would certainly ask a few questions to establish some sort of rapport.
Just saw this info on the Professional Hunters Association of Zambia website and thought it applied to this thread, from admittedly way way back, but answered some questions nevertheless.
